Famous quotes containing the words platform and/or height:
“I marched in with the men afoot; a gallant show they made as they marched up High Street to the depot. Lucy and Mother Webb remained several hours until we left. I saw them watching me as I stood on the platform at the rear of the last car as long as they could see me. Their eyes swam. I kept my emotion under control enough not to melt into tears.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“How frightening it is to have reached the height of human accomplishment in art that must forever borrow from life’s abundance.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
