Famous quotes containing the words rail, canada and/or city:
“If goodness were only a theory, it were a pity it should be lost to the world. There are a number of things, the idea of which is a clear gain to the mind.

—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“I fear that I have not got much to say about Canada, not having seen much; what I got by going to Canada was a cold.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Thought is barred in this City of Dreadful Joy and conversation is unknown.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
