Lane

Famous quotes containing the word lane:

    “Life is a thin narrowness of taken-for-granted, a plank over a canyon in a fog. There is something under our feet, the taken-for-granted. A table is a table, food is food, we are we—because we don’t question these things. And science is the enemy because it is the questioner. Faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.”
    —Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)

    “The dusk runs down the lane driven like hail;

    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “That way of life against which my generation rebelled had given us grim courage, fortitude, self-discipline, a sense of individual responsibility, and a capacity for relentless hard work.”
    —Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
