Famous quotes containing the word roads:
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”

Where the roads dip and where the roads rise
Seek only there
Where the grey light meets the green air
The hermit’s chapel, the pilgrim’s prayer.”

Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

And that has made all the difference.”
