Formed State

Famous quotes containing the words formed and/or state:

“I do not know whether I would not like much better to have produced one perfectly formed child by intercourse with the muses than by intercourse with my wife.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“The mountainous region of the State of Maine stretches from near the White Mountains, northeasterly one hundred and sixty miles, to the head of the Aroostook River, and is about sixty miles wide. The wild or unsettled portion is far more extensive. So that some hours only of travel in this direction will carry the curious to the verge of a primitive forest, more interesting, perhaps, on all accounts, than they would reach by going a thousand miles westward.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
