Main Route

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or route:

    In most books, the I, or first person, is omitted; in this it will be retained; that, in respect to egotism, is the main difference.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
