Straight Track

Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or track:

    “I, who travel most often for my pleasure, do not direct myself so badly. If it looks ugly on the right, I take the left; if I find myself unfit to ride my horse, I stop.... Have I left something unseen behind me? I go back; it is still on my road. I trace no fixed line, either straight or crooked.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “Away went the messenger’s bicycle,
    His serpent’s track went up the hill forever.
    And all the time she stood there hot as fever
    And cold as any icicle.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
