Ground Waves

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or waves:

“I feel ruefully sure, also, that one must be at least one sort of fool to rush in over ground so well trodden by the angels.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)

“The seashore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place. The waves forever rolling to the land are too far-traveled and untamable to be familiar. Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
