Famous quotes containing the words big and/or pine:
“A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“It was the pine alone, chiefly the white pine, that had tempted any but the hunter to precede us on this route.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
