Famous quotes containing the words road and/or world:
“Here is no water but only rock
Rock and no water and the sandy road
The road winding above among the mountains
Which are mountains of rock without water
If there were water we should stop and drink
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“I, a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
