White Pass Route

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

    It’s all sorts of middle-aged white men in suits—forests of middle-aged men in dark suits. All slightly red-faced from eating and drinking too much.
    Diane Abbott (b. 1953)

    if she were lacking all grace
    they’d pass her in silence:
    so it’s not only to say she’s
    a warm hole.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    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)
