Permanent Road Track

Famous quotes containing the words permanent, road and/or track:

    Sickness comes to us all, Mr. Dillon.... We never know when, we never know why, we never know how. The only blessed thing we know is it’ll come at the most inconvenient, unexpected time. Just when you’ve got tickets to the World Series. And that’s the way the permanent waves.
    Donald E. Westlake (b. 1933)

    O Russia! O my wife! Our long and narrow Road lies clear though distressed.
    Our road with an old Tatar freedom’s arrow Has deeply pierced our breast.
    Alexander Blok (1880–1921)

    The war is dreadful. It is the business of the artist to follow it home to the heart of the individual fighters—not to talk in armies and nations and numbers—but to track it home.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
