Famous quotes containing the word roads:

    “We joined long wagon trains moving south; we met hundreds of wagons going north; the roads east and west were crawling lines of families traveling under canvas, looking for work, for another foothold somewhere on the land.... The country was ruined, the whole world was ruined; nothing like this had ever happened before. There was no hope, but everyone felt the courage of despair.”
    —Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)

    “... deeper
    and deeper into Imagination’s
    holy forest, as travelers
    followed the Zohar’s dusty
    shimmering roads ...”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word “no.” To “no” there is only one answer and that is “yes.” Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing. Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
