Famous quotes containing the words lane and/or head:

    The dusk runs down the lane driven like hail;
    Far off a precise whistle is escheat
    To the dark; and then the towering weak and pale....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    [University students] hated the hypocrisy of adult society, the rigidity of its political institutions, the impersonality of its bureaucracies. They sought to create a society that places human values before materialistic ones, that has a little less head and a little more heart, that is dominated by self-interest and loves its neighbor more. And they were persuaded that group protest of a militant nature would advance those goals.
    Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)
