Starting today, London subway drivers will read quotes:
{press release} The words of Gandhi, Einstein, Jean Paul Sartre and other great thinkers are to be quoted in service announcements on London's Underground...
Transport for London has commissioned Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller to compile a list of bon mots to be used by Tube drivers...FYI, a sampling:
Gandhi's "there is more to life than increasing (its) speed"{re video} The riders don't mind it for the nonce. But hopefully somewhere along the line (pun intended) the riders will get a chance to at least vote (or veto) the ones to be used.
Cezanne's "we live in a rainbow of chaos"
Fuller's "a stumble may prevent a fall"
"the afternoon knows what morning never suspected"
"an ounce of action is worth a ton of theory"
"one who n'er made a mistake n'er tried anything new"
not to menion... Sartre's "hell is other people"
Or perhaps send in some of their own... ==:-O
