Began Studying

Famous quotes containing the words began and/or studying:

    The Cold War began with the division of Europe. It can only end when Europe is whole.
    George Bush (b. 1924)

    As for fowling, during the last years that I carried a gun my excuse was that I was studying ornithology, and sought only new or rare birds. But I confess that I am now inclined to think that there is a finer way of studying ornithology than this. It requires so much closer attention to the habits of the birds, that, if for that reason only, I have been willing to omit the gun.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
