Famous quotes containing the word road:

    Come mothers and fathers
    Throughout the land
    And don’t criticize
    What you can’t understand
    Your sons and your daughters
    Are beyond your command
    Your old road is rapidly agin’.
    Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)

    The rangey bough anticipated fruit
    With snowballs cupped in every opening bud.
    The road alone maintained itself in mud....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
