Famous quotes containing the word stations:

    “I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “After I was married a year I remembered things like radio stations and forgot my husband.”
    —P. J. Wolfson, John L. Balderston (1899–1954)

    “A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.”
    —Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
