Longest Road

Famous quotes containing the words longest and/or road:

“Once I went so far as to slaughter a woodchuck which ravaged my bean-field,—effect his transmigration, as a Tartar would say,—and devour him, partly for experiment’s sake; but though it afforded me a momentary enjoyment, notwithstanding a musky flavor, I saw that the longest use would not make that a good practice, however it might seem to have your woodchucks ready dressed by the village butcher.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Down the road someone is practicing scales,
The notes like little fishes vanish with a wink of tails,”
—Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
