Famous quotes containing the words electric and/or trains:
“Thats the down-town frieze,
Principally the church steeple,

And the stack of the electric plant,
A black line drawn on flat air.”

“To write weekly, to write daily, to write shortly, to write for busy people catching trains in the morning or for tired people coming home in the evening, is a heartbreaking task for men who know good writing from bad. They do it, but instinctively draw out of harms way anything precious that might be damaged by contact with the public, or anything sharp that might irritate its skin.”
—Virginia Woolf (18821941)
