Famous quotes containing the words lane, road and/or bridge:
“Life is a thin narrowness of taken-for-granted, a plank over a canyon in a fog. There is something under our feet, the taken-for-granted. A table is a table, food is food, we are webecause we dont question these things. And science is the enemy because it is the questioner. Faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (18861968)
“As life runs on, the road grows strange
With faces new,and near the end
The milestones into headstones change,
Neath every one a friend.”
—James Russell Lowell (18191891)

—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
