Famous quotes containing the words closely, observed and/or trains:
“Follow your genius closely enough, and it will not fail to show you a fresh prospect every hour.”

“I have observed in foolish awe
The dateless mid-days of the law
And seen indifferent justice done
By everyone on everyone.”
—Edwin Muir (1887–1959)
“The complaint ... about modern steel furniture, modern glass houses, modern red bars and modern streamlined trains and cars is that all these objets modernes, while adequate and amusing in themselves, tend to make the people who use them look dated. It is an honest criticism. The human race has done nothing much about changing its own appearance to conform to the form and texture of its appurtenances.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
