Quotations for ceiling

And now the thickened sky like a dark ceiling stood; down rushed the rain impetuous. [ Milton ]

Let your pen fail, begin to trifle with blotting-paper, look at the ceiling, bite your nails, and otherwise dally with your purpose, and you waste your time, scatter your thoughts, and repress the nervous energy necessary for your task. [ G. H. Lewes ]
