Station Whiting Field

Famous quotes containing the words station, whiting and/or field:

    How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.
    Toni Morrison (b. 1931)

    “Will you walk a little faster?” said a whiting to a snail,
    “There’s a porpoise close behind us, and he’s treading on my
    tail.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Time is a great legalizer, even in the field of morals.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
