“We who have lived before railways were made belong to another world. It was only yesterday, but what a gulf between now and then! Then was the old world. Stage-coaches, more or less swift, riding-horses, pack-horses, highwaymen, knights in armor, Norman invaders, Roman legions, Druids, Ancient Britons painted blue, and so forth -- all these belong to the old period. But your railroad starts the new era, and we of a certain age belong to the new time and the old one. We who lived before railways, and survive out of the ancient world, are like Father Noah and his family out of the Ark.” WorldMadeAgeCertainFatherStagePeriodsHorseBlueAncientCoachesYesterdayErasRidingNow And ThenPacksKnightsArmorAnother WorldRailroadsRailwayLegionOld WorldNew EraArkInvadersDruidsAncient WorldBritonsHighwaymen Author:William Makepeace Thackeray
“There is no solid satisfaction in any career for a woman like myself. There is no home, no true freedom, no hope, no joy, no expectation for tomorrow, no contentment. I would rather cook a meal for a man and bring him his slippers and feel myself in the protection of his arms than have all the citations and awards and honors I have received worldwide, including the Ribbon of Legion of Honor and my property and my bank accounts. They mean nothing to me. And I am only one among the millions of sad women like myself.” MenFeelsMeanHomeJoyWomenCareersMillionsArmsTomorrowHonorExpectationsAccountsPropertyIncludingSatisfactionProtectionCooksMealsContentmentAwardsNo HopeRibbonsBank AccountsLegionTrue FreedomSlippersCitations Author:Taylor Caldwell
