Famous quotes containing the words greek and/or route:

    “So you may say,
    “Greek flower; Greek ecstasy
    reclaims for ever
    one who died
    following
    intricate songs’ lost measure.””
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
