More quotes by David McCord
Life is a garment we continuously alter, but which never seems to fit.
David McCord
The high-ceilinged rooms, the little balconies, alcoves, nooks and angles all suggest sanctuary, escape, creature comfort. The reader, the scholar, the browser, the borrower is king.
David McCord
A pedestrian is a man in danger of his life. A walker is a man in possession of his soul.
David McCord

David McCord

David McCord
A handful of sand is an anthology of the universe.
David McCord
But man must light for man The fires no other can, And find in his own eye Where the strange crossroads lie.
David McCord
