Cherokee Caverns

Famous quotes containing the words cherokee and/or caverns:

    Long accustomed to the use of European manufactures, [the Cherokee Indians] are as incapable of returning to their habits of skins and furs as we are, and find their wants the less tolerable as they are occasioned by a war [the American Revolution] the event of which is scarcely interesting to them.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    The within, all that inner space one never sees, the brain and the heart and other caverns where thought and feeling dance their sabbath.
