Famous quotes containing the words wayside and/or cross:
“Quotations in my work are like wayside robbers who leap out armed and relieve the stroller of his conviction.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“Men are not to be told anything they might find too painful; the secret depths of human nature, the sordid physicalities, might overwhelm or damage them. For instance, men often faint at the sight of their own blood, to which they are not accustomed. For this reason you should never stand behind one in the line at the Red Cross donor clinic.”
—Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)
