Montgomery Bus

Famous quotes containing the words montgomery and/or bus:

    The fates are not quite obdurate;
    They have a grim, sardonic way
    Of granting them who supplicate
    The thing they wanted yesterday.
    —Roselle Mercier Montgomery (1874–1933)

    Literature transforms and intensifies ordinary language, deviates systematically from everyday speech. If you approach me at a bus stop and murmur “Thou still unravished bride of quietness,” then I am instantly aware that I am in the presence of the literary.
    Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
