Vaults Built

Famous quotes containing the words vaults and/or built:

    “Power, I said. Power to walk into the gold vaults of the nations, into the secrets of kings, into the holy of holies. Power to make multitudes run squealing in terror at the touch of my little invisible finger. Even the moon’s frightened of me. Frightened to death. The whole world’s frightened to death.”
    —R.C. Sherriff (1896–1975)

    “Others built beautifully and well,
    but fell
    to lie
    like a bleached hull;
    other sea-cities have faltered
    and striven with the tide.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
