“GARGOYLE, n. A rain-spout projecting from the eaves of mediaeval buildings, commonly fashioned into a grotesque caricature of some personal enemy of the architect or owner of the building. This was especially the case in churches and ecclesiastical structures generally, in which the gargoyles presented a perfect rogues' gallery of local heretics and controversialists. Sometimes when a new dean and chapter were installed the old gargoyles were removed and others substituted having a closer relation to the private animosities of the new incumbents.”
Ambrose Bierce
“We have communities where the entire community is under water, literally to the eaves of buildings.”
Christine Todd Whitman
“They love those tall buildings, those apartment complexes where they can make their colonies between the eaves.”
Cheryl Brom
“We were lucky down here. We could have been a St. Bernard with water up to the (house) eaves.”
Chris Tucker
“Like coach (Mike Eaves) said, the season's not over. We've got bigger accomplishments to seize in the next couple of weeks.”
Robbie Earl
“They are a well-coached team. Coach Eaves is a great coach and I really think he stressed clogging the neutral zone because he knew we had a good transition game. At the same time I think we still had our chances to win the game.”
Keith Johnson
“It was a terrible call. At that point of the game, I just lifted the guy's stick (Patrick Eaves) and he fell. It was a terrible call.”
