Famous quotes containing the words route and/or station:
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
