Famous quotes containing the words resort, line and/or stock:
“What then in the last resort are the truths of mankind?—They are the irrefutable errors of mankind.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“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)
“I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
