Famous quotes containing the words california, historical and/or landmark:

    “But why go to California for a text? She is the child of New England, bred at her own school and church.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Some minds are as little logical or argumentative as nature; they can offer no reason or “guess,” but they exhibit the solemn and incontrovertible fact. If a historical question arises, they cause the tombs to be opened. Their silent and practical logic convinces the reason and the understanding at the same time. Of such sort is always the only pertinent question and the only satisfactory reply.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “They throw in Drummer Hodge, to rest
    Uncoffined—just as found:
    His landmark is a kopje-crest
    That breaks the veldt around;”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
