Famous quotes containing the words town and/or fort:

    This was the most completely maritime town that we were ever in. It was merely a good harbor, surrounded by land, dry if not firm,—an inhabited beach, whereon fishermen cured and stored their fish, without any back country.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I made him with these hands, and with these hands I’ll destroy him.
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
