Montevallo Main Street

Famous quotes containing the words main street, main and/or street:

    “Main Street was never the same. I read Gide and tried to
    translate Proust. Now nothing is real except French wine.
    For absurdity is reality, my loneliness unreal, my mind tired.
    And I shall die an old Parisian.”
    —Conrad Kent Rivers (1933–1968)

    “Observe this, that tho’ a woman swear, forswear, lie, dissemble, back-bite, be proud, vain, malicious, anything, if she secures the main chance, she’s still virtuous; that’s a maxim.”
    —George Farquhar (1678–1707)

    “And in these dark cells,
    packed street after street,
    souls live, hideous yet
    O disfigured, defaced,
    with no trace of the beauty
    men once held so light.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
