Slab Track

Famous quotes containing the words slab and/or track:

    Remember? We sat on a slab of rock.
    From this distance in time,
    it seems the color
    of iris, rotting and turning purpler,

    but it was only
    the usual gray rock
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements, and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
