Wall Street - Competitors To Wall Street

Famous quotes containing the words wall and/or street:

“But I would cry,
rooted into the wall that
was once my mother,
if I could remember how
and if I had the tears.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“Think of admitting the details of a single case of the criminal court into our thoughts, to stalk profanely through their very sanctum sanctorum for an hour, ay, for many hours! to make a very barroom of the mind’s inmost apartment, as if for so long the dust of the street had occupied us,—the very street itself, with all its travel, its bustle, and filth, had passed through our thoughts’ shrine! Would it not be an intellectual and moral suicide?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
