Built

Famous quotes containing the word built:

    When I wrote the following pages, or rather the bulk of them, I lived alone, in the woods, a mile from any neighbor, in a house which I had built myself, on the shore of Walden Pond, in Concord, Massachusetts, and earned my living by the labor of my hands only. I lived there two years and two months. At present I am a sojourner in civilized life again.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    They built by rivers and at night the water
    Running past windows comforted their sorrow;
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    Once I built a railroad, made it run,
    Made it race against time ...
    Now it’s done,
    Buddy, can you spare a dime?
    Yip Harburg (1898–1981)
