Native Affairs

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or affairs:

“But, depend upon it, you will love your native hills the better for being separated from them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen. On the farm the weather was the great fact, and men’s affairs went on underneath it, as the streams creep under the ice. But in Black Hawk the scene of human life was spread out shrunken and pinched, frozen down to the bare stalk.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
