Centre Street

Famous quotes containing the words centre and/or street:

“Old politicians, like old actors, revive in the limelight. The vacancy which afflicts them in private momentarily lifts when, once more, they feel the eyes of an audience upon them. Their old passion for holding the centre of the stage guides their uncertain footsteps to where the footlights shine, and summons up a wintry smile when the curtain rises.”
—Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)

“There was an Old Man who supposed,
That the street door was partially closed;”
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)
