Famous quotes containing the words state, highway and/or runs:
“I see the state of all of us who live, nothing more than phantoms or a weightless shadow.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“The improved American highway system ... isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway ... he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson’s nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“If a woman does possess masculine virtues, we want to run away from her; and if she does not possess masculine virtues, then she runs away.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
