Famous quotes containing the words local, air and/or quality:
“The improved American highway system ... isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway ... he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson’s nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“The air split into nine levels,
Some gift of tongues of the whistler”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
“The quality of a marriage is proven by its ability to tolerate an occasional “exception.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
