River Common

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or common:

“The name of the town isn’t important. It’s the one that’s just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. It’s on a river and it’s got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

“The hourly kindness, the day’s common speech,
The habitual content of each with each
When neither soul nor body has been crossed.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
