Famous quotes containing the word trains:

    “Ever notice how these European trains always smell of eau de cologne and hard boiled eggs?”
    —Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    “To write weekly, to write daily, to write shortly, to write for busy people catching trains in the morning or for tired people coming home in the evening, is a heartbreaking task for men who know good writing from bad. They do it, but instinctively draw out of harm’s way anything precious that might be damaged by contact with the public, or anything sharp that might irritate its skin.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “In this country, you never pull the emergency brake, even when there is an emergency. It is imperative that the trains run on schedule.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
