Famous quotes containing the words york, wheel and/or fortune:

    It is often said that New York is a city for only the very rich and the very poor. It is less often said that New York is also, at least for those of us who came there from somewhere else, a city for only the very young.

    Let the wheel spin out,
    Till all created things
    With shout and answering shout
    Cast off rememberings....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Who does not see that I have taken a road along which I shall go, without stopping and without effort, as long as there is ink and paper in the world? I cannot keep a record of my life by my actions; fortune places them too low. I keep it by my thoughts.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
