Famous quotes containing the words beach and/or world:
“We often love to think now of the life of men on beaches,—at least in midsummer, when the weather is serene; their sunny lives on the sand, amid the beach-grass and bayberries, their companion a cow, their wealth a jag of driftwood or a few beach plums, and their music the surf and the peep of the beech-bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“So the first it is written,
will be the twisted or the tortured individuals,
out of line, out of step with world so-called progress.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
