Famous quotes containing the words car, set and/or owned:
“I marched in with the men afoot; a gallant show they made as they marched up High Street to the depot. Lucy and Mother Webb remained several hours until we left. I saw them watching me as I stood on the platform at the rear of the last car as long as they could see me. Their eyes swam. I kept my emotion under control enough not to melt into tears.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
“Shes just a child,
but Im the one whos fainthearted.
Shes the woman,
but Im the coward.
She bears that high, swollen set of breasts,
but Im the one whos burdened.
The heavy hips are hers,
but Im unable to move.
Its a wonder
how clumsy Ive become
because of flaws
that shelter themselves
in another.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“The only free road, the Underground Railroad, is owned and managed by the Vigilant Committee. They have tunneled under the whole breadth of the land.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
