Direct Orient Express

Famous quotes containing the words direct, orient and/or express:

    “Of course it is of no use to direct our steps to the woods, if they do not carry us thither. I am alarmed when it happens that I have walked a mile into the woods bodily, without getting there in spirit.... What business have I in the woods, if I am thinking of something out of the woods?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Of marvels with our own competing,
    The strangest is the Haschish plant,
    And what will follow on its eating.”

    “TO EXPRESS THE EMOTIONS OF LIFE IS TO LIVE. TO EXPRESS THE LIFE OF EMOTIONS IS TO MAKE ART.”
