Line Passing

Famous quotes containing the words line and/or passing:

    A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    When as a child I laughed and wept,
    Time crept.
    When as a youth I waxed more bold,
    Time strolled.
    When I became a full-grown man,
    Time RAN.
    When older still I daily grew,
    Time FLEW.
    Soon I shall find, in passing on,
    Time gone.
    O Christ! wilt Thou have saved me then?
    Amen.
    Henry Twells (1823–1900)
