White Pass Route

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

    Lift my head, help me up,
    I am bruised, bone and flesh;
    chafe my white hands, my servants....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Why should a man desire in any way
    To vary from the kindly race of men,
    Or pass beyond the goal of ordinance
    Where all should pause, as is most meet for all?
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    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)
