Grim Adventures

Famous quotes containing the words grim and/or adventures:

“It is even more grim and wild than you had anticipated, a damp and intricate wilderness, in the spring everywhere wet and miry. The aspect of the country, indeed, is universally stern and savage, excepting the distant views of the forest from hills, and the lake prospects, which are mild and civilizing in a degree.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“A large volume of adventures may be grasped within this little span of life, by him who interests his heart in everything.”
