Rail Road Company

Famous quotes containing the words rail, road and/or company:

    For this is the mark of a wise and upright man, not to rail against the gods in misfortune.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    Much as I own I owe
    The passers of the past
    Because their to and fro
    Has cut this road to last,
    I owe them more today
    Because they’ve gone away....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    All I can tell you with certainty is that I, for one, have no self, and that I am unwilling or unable to perpetrate upon myself the joke of a self.... What I have instead is a variety of impersonations I can do, and not only of myself—a troupe of players that I have internalised, a permanent company of actors that I can call upon when a self is required.... I am a theater and nothing more than a theater.
    Philip Roth (b. 1933)
