Lost Woods

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or woods:

    “that warm metamorphosis of snow
    as gentle as the sort that woodsmen know
    who, lost in the white circle, fall at last
    and dream their way to death.”
    —Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)

    “If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. As if the town had no interest in its forests but to cut them down!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
