Famous quotes containing the words train and/or crosses:
“The train was crammed, the heat stifling. We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy.

—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“When an American heiress wants to buy a man, she at once crosses the Atlantic. The only really materialistic people I have ever met have been Europeans.”
