Famous quotes containing the words town and/or highway:
“All of childhood’s unanswered questions must finally be passed back to the town and answered there. Heroes and bogey men, values and dislikes, are first encountered and labeled in that early environment.

—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“My manner is the footnote to your immoral

—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
