Famous quotes containing the words mountain and/or wilderness:
“Bald as the bare mountain tops are bald, with a baldness full of grandeur.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“A township where one primitive forest waves above while another primitive forest rots below,—such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes, but poets and philosophers for the coming ages. In such a soil grew Homer and Confucius and the rest, and out of such a wilderness comes the Reformer eating locusts and wild honey.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
