Line Passing

Famous quotes containing the words line and/or passing:

    The modern picture of The Artist began to form: The poor, but free spirit, plebeian but aspiring only to be classless, to cut himself forever free from the bonds of the greedy bourgeoisie, to be whatever the fat burghers feared most, to cross the line wherever they drew it, to look at the world in a way they couldn’t see, to be high, live low, stay young forever—in short, to be the bohemian.
    Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)

    I saw the spires of Oxford
    As I was passing by,
    The grey spires of Oxford
    Against a pearl-grey sky;
    My heart was with the Oxford men
    Who went abroad to die.
    Winifred M. Letts (1887–1972)
