Famous quotes containing the word walking:

    The City of New York is like an enormous citadel, a modern Carcassonne. Walking between the magnificent skyscrapers one feels the presence on the fringe of a howling, raging mob, a mob with empty bellies, a mob unshaven and in rags.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    O Lord! I don’t know which is the worst of the country, the walking or the sitting at home with nothing to do.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    And when we
    come to earth the roofs
    are made of tiles,
    pigeons
    are walking on them....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
