Famous quotes containing the words ford, mustang and/or generation:

Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream!”

“A work in progress quickly becomes feral. It reverts to a wild state overnight. It is barely domesticated, a mustang on which you one day fastened a halter, but which now you cannot catch. It is a lion you cage in your study. As the work grows, it gets harder to control; it is a lion growing in strength. You must visit it every day and reassert your mastery over it. If you skip a day, you are, quite rightly, afraid to open the door to its room.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
“One generation abandons the enterprises of another like stranded vessels.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
