Famous quotes containing the words gold, coast and/or city:

    As I have known them passionate and fine,
    The gold for which they leave the golden line
    Of lyric is a golden light divine,
    Never the gold of darkness from a mine.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    This coast crying out for tragedy like all beautiful places,
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    I don’t like the city better, the more I see it, but worse. I am ashamed of my eyes that behold it. It is a thousand times meaner than I could have imagined.... The pigs in the street are the most respectable part of the population.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
