Fair Oaks Avenue

Famous quotes containing the words fair, oaks and/or avenue:

    Why should not our whole life and its scenery be actually thus fair and distinct? All our lives want a suitable background. They should at least, like the life of the anchorite, be as impressive to behold as objects in a desert, a broken shaft or crumbling mound against a limitless horizon.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    He that depends
    Upon your favors swims with fins of lead,
    And hews down oaks with rushes.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Like art and politics, gangsterism is a very important avenue of assimilation into society.
    —E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)
