Famous quotes containing the words abandoned and/or railways:

    “If you have abandoned one faith, do not abandon all faith. There is always an alternative to the faith we lose. Or is it the same faith under another mask?”
    —Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    “There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.”
    —H.G. (Herbert George)
