Famous quotes containing the words mountain and/or resort:

    The mountain held the town as in a shadow.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The truth is that every intelligent man, as you well know, dreams of being a gangster and ruling over society through violence alone. Since this is not as easy as the novels would have us believe, people generally resort to politics and join the cruelest party.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
