Township Line

Famous quotes containing the words township and/or line:

“The most interesting thing which I heard of, in this township of Hull, was an unfailing spring, whose locality was pointed out to me on the side of a distant hill, as I was panting along the shore, though I did not visit it. Perhaps, if I should go through Rome, it would be some spring on the Capitoline Hill I should remember the longest.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century.”
