Famous quotes containing the words oak and/or street:
“Alas for America as I must so often say, the ungirt, the diffuse, the profuse, procumbent, one wide ground juniper, out of which no cedar, no oak will rear up a mast to the clouds! It all runs to leaves, to suckers, to tendrils, to miscellany. The air is loaded with poppy, with imbecility, with dispersion, & sloth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When I pass people on the street I want to stop them and say, listen, I got a fella.”
—Sydney Carroll, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Rossen. Sarah (Piper Laurie)
