Long Distance Boomerangs

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or distance:

“If it is asserted that civilization is a real advance in the condition of man,—and I think that it is, though only the wise improve their advantages,—it must be shown that it has produced better dwellings without making them more costly; and the cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The distance that the dead have gone
Does not at first appear—
Their coming back seems possible
For many an ardent year.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
