Glacier Point Hotel

Famous quotes containing the words glacier, point and/or hotel:

    “The glacier knocks in the cupboard,

    A lane to the land of the dead.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence; that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair.
    Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    When
    Sir

    Where Proserpine first fell,
    Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)
