Famous quotes containing the words diet, mountain and/or dew:
“I learned from my two years experience that it would cost incredibly little trouble to obtain ones necessary food, even in this latitude; that a man may use as simple a diet as the animals, and yet retain health and strength.... Yet men have come to such a pass that they frequently starve, not for want of necessaries, but for want of luxuries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Ive been up the mountain and I had a choice. Should I come down? So I came down. God said, Okay, youve been up on the mountain, now you go down. Youre on your own, free. Check in later, but now youre on your own.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
“When we awoke, we found a heavy dew on our blankets. I lay awake very early, and listened to the clear, shrill ah, te te, te te, te of the white-throated sparrow, repeated at short intervals, without the least variation, for half an hour, as if it could not enough express its happiness. Whether my companions heard it or not, I know not, but it was a kind of matins to me, and the event of the forenoon.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
