Freeway Portion Ends

Famous quotes containing the words freeway, portion and/or ends:

    The freeway experience ... is the only secular communion Los Angeles has.... Actual participation requires a total surrender, a concentration so intense as to seem a kind of narcosis, a rapture-of-the-freeway. The mind goes clean. The rhythm takes over.
    Joan Didion (b. 1935)

    That best portion of a good man’s life;
    His little, nameless, unremembered acts
    Of kindness and of love.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    Gossip isn’t scandal and it’s not merely malicious. It’s chatter about the human race by lovers of the same. Gossip is the tool of the poet, the shop-talk of the scientist, and the consolation of the housewife, wit, tycoon and intellectual. It begins in the nursery and ends when speech is past.
    Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
