Famous quotes containing the words east and/or riding:

    In order to get to East Russet you take the Vermont Central as far as Twitchell’s Falls and change there for Torpid River Junction, where a spur line takes you right into Gormley. At Gormley you are met by a buckboard which takes you back to Torpid River Junction again.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    Wilmer Cook: Keep on riding me, they’re gonna be picking iron out of your liver.
    Sam Spade: The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter.
    John Huston (1906–1987)
