Famous quotes containing the words montezuma and/or creek:

    “There is only one evil, to deny life
    As Rome denied Etruria
    And mechanical America Montezuma still.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “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)
