White Pass Route

Famous quotes containing the words white, pass and/or route:

    When the white man governs himself that is self-government; but when he governs himself, and also governs another man, that is more than self-government—that is despotism.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    You are even a world,
    a planet,
    and pass from history
    and the day’s event.
    to myth and phantasy,
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
