Famous quotes containing the words green and/or mountain:

    “Like the water, the Walden ice, seen near at hand, has a green tint, but at a distance is beautifully blue, and you can easily tell it from the white ice of the river, or the merely greenish ice of some ponds, a quarter of a mile off.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The mountain sheep are sweeter,
    But the valley sheep are fatter;
    We therefore deemed it meeter
    To carry off the latter.”
    —Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)
