Famous quotes containing the words kane and/or began:

“Where is the “unexplored land” but in our own untried enterprises? To an adventurous spirit any place—London, New York, Worcester, or his own yard—is “unexplored land,” to seek which Frémont and Kane travel so far. To a sluggish and defeated spirit even the Great Basin and the Polaris are trivial places.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I now first began to inhabit my house, I may say, when I began to use it for warmth as well as shelter.”
