Famous quotes containing the words david and/or maxwell:

    “Before I finally went into winter quarters in November, I used to resort to the north- east side of Walden, which the sun, reflected from the pitch pine woods and the stony shore, made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter and wholesomer to be warmed by the sun while you can be, than by an artificial fire. I thus warmed myself by the still glowing embers which the summer, like a departed hunter, had left.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Aw, it’s just like a woman. When the shootin’s all over and everything’s safe, they pass out.”
    —Griffin Jay, and Maxwell Shane (1905–1983)
