Path

Famous quotes containing the word path:

    Reporters for tabloid newspapers beat a path to the park entrance each summer when the national convention of nudists is held, but the cult’s requirement that visitors disrobe is an obstacle to complete coverage of nudist news. Local residents interested in the nudist movement but as yet unwilling to affiliate make observations from rowboats in Great Egg Harbor River.
    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    The lesson which these observations convey is, be, and not seem. Let us acquiesce. Let us take our bloated nothingness out of the path of the divine circuits. Let us unlearn our wisdom of the world. Let us lie low in the lord’s power, and learn that truth alone makes rich and great.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The path was a vague parting in the grass
    That led us to a weathered windowsill.
    We pressed our faces to the pane. “You see,” he said,
    “Everything’s as she left it when she died....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
