Famous quotes containing the words cross and/or road:
“It is an agreeable change to cross a lake, after you have been shut up in the woods, not only on account of the greater expanse of water, but also of sky. It is one of the surprises which Nature has in store for the traveler in the forest. To look down, in this case, over eighteen miles of water, was liberating and civilizing even.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.”
—J.R.R. (John Ronald Revel)
