Famous quotes containing the words state and/or line:
“The almost unexplored Everglades lay close by and with a half- hours start a man who knew the country was safe from pursuit. As one man cheerfully confided ..., A boat dont leave no trail, stranger.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“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)
