Elk Mound Town

Famous quotes containing the words mound and/or town:

    Why should not our whole life and its scenery be actually thus fair and distinct? All our lives want a suitable background. They should at least, like the life of the anchorite, be as impressive to behold as objects in a desert, a broken shaft or crumbling mound against a limitless horizon.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I’m shakin’ the dust of this crummy little town off my feet and I’m gonna see the world.
    Frances Goodrich (1891–1984)
