State Highway Route

Famous quotes containing the words state, highway and/or route:

    “Feign then what’s by a decent tact believed
    And act that state is only so conceived,
    And build an edifice of form
    For house where phantoms may keep warm.”
    —William Empson (1906–1984)

    “Off Highway 106
    At Cherrylog Road I entered
    The ‘34 Ford without wheels,
    Smothered in kudzu,
    With a seat pulled out to run
    Corn whiskey down from the hills,”
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)

    “In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
