Jordan Road

Famous quotes containing the words jordan and/or road:

    All of Western tradition, from the late bloom of the British Empire right through the early doom of Vietnam, dictates that you do something spectacular and irreversible whenever you find yourself in or whenever you impose yourself upon a wholly unfamiliar situation belonging to somebody else. Frequently it’s your soul or your honor or your manhood, or democracy itself, at stake.
    —June Jordan (b. 1939)

    My desk, most loyal friend
    thank you. You’ve been with me on
    every road I’ve taken.
    My scar and my protection.
    Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941)
