Henness Pass Road

Famous quotes containing the words pass and/or road:

    Every man that sings a song
    Keeps Parnell in his mind
    For Parnell was a proud man,
    No prouder trod the ground,
    And a proud man’s a lovely man
    So pass the bottle round.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    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)
