Famous quotes with Be emblematic of

  • The London office of the International Council for University Development was in Queen Street. Edwin hesitated outside, adjusting his cap, tightening the knot of his tie, smoothing his pyjama collar.

The doors were all glass and hence appeared to be ever-open ; this again must be emblematic of something.
    Anthony Burgess
