Local Bus Service

Famous quotes containing the words local, bus and/or service:

    Back now to autumn, leaving the ended husk
    Of summer that brought them here for Show Saturday
    The men with hunters, dog-breeding wool-defined women,
    Children all saddle-swank, mugfaced middleaged wives
    Glaring at jellies, husbands on leave from the garden
    Watchful as weasels, car-tuning curt-haired sons
    Back now, all of them, to their local lives....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    There was an old man from Darjeeling
    Who got on a bus bound for Ealing.
    It said at the door,
    “Please don’t spit on the floor,”
    So he carefully spat on the ceiling.
    Anonymous.

    Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.
    Peregrine, Sir Worsthorne (b. 1923)
