Famous quotes containing the words atlas and/or road:
“A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
“The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding
Ridingriding
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.”
—Alfred Noyes (18801958)
