Famous quotes containing the words roadside and/or zoos:

    She said, “as the light on the dashboard ran
    Along the bushes at the roadside a man’s face.
    You must have seen it too.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The zoo cannot but disappoint. The public purpose of zoos is to offer visitors the opportunity of looking at animals. Yet nowhere in a zoo can a stranger encounter the look of an animal. At the most, the animal’s gaze flickers and passes on. They look sideways. They look blindly beyond.
    John Berger (b. 1926)
