Famous quotes containing the word park:

    “Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
    —Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)

    “and the words never said,
    And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
    We sat in the car park till twenty to one
    And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
