Famous quotes containing the words town and/or line:
“If the street life, not the Whitechapel street life, but that of the common but so-called respectable part of town is in any city more gloomy, more ugly, more grimy, more cruel than in London, I certainly dont care to see it. Sometimes it occurs to one that possibly all the failures of this generation, the world over, have been suddenly swept into London, for the streets are a restless, breathing, malodorous pageant of the seedy of all nations.”
—Willa Cather (18761947)
“A line will take us hours maybe;
Yet if it does not seem a moments thought,
Our stitching and unstitching has been naught.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
