Ancient Silk Road

Famous quotes containing the words ancient, silk and/or road:

    Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
    The worlds revolve like ancient women
    Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    A single strand of silk does not make a thread, nor a single tree a forest.
    Chinese proverb.

    Much as I own I owe
    The passers of the past
    Because their to and fro
    Has cut this road to last,
    I owe them more today
    Because they’ve gone away....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
