Famous quotes containing the words lane and/or head:

    “Making the best of things is ... a damn poor way of dealing with them.... My whole life has been a series of escapes from that quicksand [ellipses in source].”
    —Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)

    “We may not pay Satan reverence, for that would be indiscreet, but we can at least respect his talents. A person who has for untold centuries maintained the imposing position of spiritual head of four-fifths of the human race, and political head of the whole of it, must be granted the possession of executive abilities of the loftiest order.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
