Limited Express Trains

Famous quotes containing the words limited, express and/or trains:

“There was a time when the average reader read a novel simply for the moral he could get out of it, and however naïve that may have been, it was a good deal less naïve than some of the limited objectives he has now. Today novels are considered to be entirely concerned with the social or economic or psychological forces that they will by necessity exhibit, or with those details of daily life that are for the good novelist only means to some deeper end.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

“When I quote others I do so in order to express my own ideas more clearly.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“Ever notice how these European trains always smell of eau de cologne and hard boiled eggs?”
