Rope Mill Road

Famous quotes containing the words rope, mill and/or road:

    Mankind is a rope tied between beast and superman—a rope over an abyss.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)

    There was now no road further, the river being the only highway, and but half a dozen log huts, confined to its banks, to be met with for thirty miles. On either hand, and beyond, was a wholly uninhabited wilderness, stretching to Canada.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
