Route Turns North

Famous quotes containing the words route, turns and/or north:

    “By a route obscure and lonely,
    Haunted by ill angels only,
    Where an eidolon, named Night,
    On a black throne reigns upright,
    I have reached these lands but newly
    From an ultimate dim Thule—
    From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
    Out of space—out of time.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “As with ships, so with men; he who turns his back to his foe gives him an advantage.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “The Bostonians are really, as a race, far inferior in point of anything beyond mere intellect to any other set upon the continent of North America. They are decidedly the most servile imitators of the English it is possible to conceive.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
