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 of us still get all weepy when we think about the Gaia Hypothesis, the idea that earth is a big furry goddess-creature who resembles everybody’s mom in that she knows what’s best for us. But if you look at the historical record—Krakatoa, Mt. Vesuvius, Hurricane Charley, poison ivy, and so forth down the ages—you have to ask yourself: Whose side is she on, anyway?”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    “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)
