Haven Line

Famous quotes containing the words haven and/or line:

“Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,”
—John Masefield (1878–1967)

“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
