Famous quotes containing the word traffic:
“The two hours’ traffic of our stage.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Irony, forsooth! Guard yourself, Engineer, from the sort of irony that thrives up here; guard yourself altogether from taking on their mental attitude!

—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“Poems stirred
into paper coffee-cups, eaten
with petals on rye in the
sun—the cold shadows in back,
and the traffic grinding the
borders of spring ...”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
