Booth Tarkington quotes
Booth Tarkington was an American novelist and dramatist, celebrated for his vivid portrayals of Midwestern life. His novels "The Magnificent Ambersons" and "Alice Adams" both won the Pulitzer Prize. He is regarded as one of the most significant chroniclers of early 20th-century American society. Here are 10 of his quotes:
The somewhere we're goin' to, and got to go to if we don't want to get wiped out, it's somewhere everlastingly and eternally ahead! It's like to-morrow; when we get there we aren't there; we got to keep goin', and we got to everlastingly and eternally keep goin' – and goin' fast! If we don't, the Almighty hasn't got a bit o' use for us; He turns us right into dust and scattered old bones, and nothin's left of our whole country and our finest cities except some street paving and a few cellars with weeds in 'em.
