Lyon Won

Famous quotes containing the words lyon and/or won:

“... no other railroad station in the world manages so mysteriously to cloak with compassion the anguish of departure and the dubious ecstasies of return and arrival.

—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)

“I can not believe that war is the best solution. No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
