Famous quotes containing the words desert and/or volumes:

The desert is squeezed in the tube-train next to you,
The desert is in the heart of your brother.”

“These volumes contain not the highest, but a very practicable wisdom, which startles and provokes, rather than informs us. Carlyle does not oblige us to think; we have thought enough for him already, but he compels us to act.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
