Famous quotes containing the words ford, taurus and/or generation:
“In a moment when criticism shows a singular dearth of direction every man has to be a law unto himself in matters of theatre, writing, and painting.

“Upper and Lower Kingdom will declare
God’s in this wooden toy,
no less
than where
great Taurus ploughs his course.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“But why should not the New Englander try new adventures, and not lay so much stress on his grain, his potato and grass crop, and his orchards,—raise other crops than these? Why concern ourselves so much about our beans for seed, and not be concerned at all about a new generation of men?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
