Famous quotes containing the words window and/or construction:

    “If a man was tossed out of a window when an infant, and so made a cripple for life, or scared out of his wits by the Indians, it is regretted chiefly because he was thus incapacitated for—business! I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself, than this incessant business.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Striving toward a goal puts a more pleasing construction on our advance toward death.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
