Famous quotes containing the words shortest and/or distance:
“The shortest way out of Manchester is notoriously a bottle of Gordon’s gin; out of any businessman’s life there is the mirage of Paris; out of Paris, or mediocrity of talent and imagination, there are all the drugs, from subtle, all-conquering opium to cheating, cozening cocaine.”
—William Bolitho (1890–1930)
“The distance that the dead have gone
Does not at first appear—
Their coming back seems possible
For many an ardent year.”
