Route Turns North

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

    The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.
    Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)

    Then suddenly the noon turns afternoon
    And afternoon like an ill-written page
    Will fade, until the very stain of light
    Gathers in all the venom of the night
    The equilibrium of the thirtieth age.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    I do not speak with any fondness but the language of coolest history, when I say that Boston commands attention as the town which was appointed in the destiny of nations to lead the civilization of North America.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
