Earth Heroes

Famous quotes containing the words earth and/or heroes:

    We seem to think that the earth must go through the ordeal of sheep-pasturage before it is habitable by man.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of “the rat race” is not yet final.
    Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
