Independence Mountain

Famous quotes containing the words independence and/or mountain:

“A tragic irony of life is that we so often achieve success or financial independence after the chief reason for which we sought it has passed away.”

“There, on the mountain and the sky,
On all the tragic scene they stare.
One asks for mournful melodies;
Accomplished fingers begin to play.
Their eyes mid many wrinkles, their eyes,
Their ancient, glittering eyes, are gay.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
