Famous quotes containing the words route, heads and/or north:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“The battle of the North Atlantic is a grim business, and it isn’t going to be won by charm and personality.”
