Hot Creek Gorge

Famous quotes containing the words hot and/or creek:

“When hot dogs like Mr. D’Amato or the Republican apologist Roger Ailes say that Whitewater is worse than Watergate, it’s because they’re suffering from a disease. It’s called bull-imia, and it’s the regurgitation of patent hyperbole.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
