Long Distance Trains

Famous quotes containing the words long, distance and/or trains:

    Those Marriages generally abound most with Love and Constancy, that are preceded by a long Courtship.

    The distance that the dead have gone
    Does not at first appear—
    Their coming back seems possible
    For many an ardent year.
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    To write weekly, to write daily, to write shortly, to write for busy people catching trains in the morning or for tired people coming home in the evening, is a heartbreaking task for men who know good writing from bad. They do it, but instinctively draw out of harm’s way anything precious that might be damaged by contact with the public, or anything sharp that might irritate its skin.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
