High Peaks

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or peaks:

“One piece of good sense would be more memorable than a monument as high as the moon.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“John Brown and Giuseppe Garibaldi were contemporaries not solely in the matter of time; their endeavors as liberators link their names where other likeness is absent; and the peaks of their careers were reached almost simultaneously: the Harper’s Ferry Raid occurred in 1859, the raid on Sicily in the following year. Both events, however differing in character, were equally quixotic.”
—John Cournos (1881–1956)
