Famous quotes containing the words subterranean, rivers and/or london:

    “So this is the subterranean life.
    If it can’t be conjugated onto us, what good is it?
    What need for purists when the demotic is built to last,
    To outlast us, and no dialect hears us?”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
