Famous quotes containing the words ocean and/or road:
“The ocean is a wilderness reaching round the globe, wilder than a Bengal jungle, and fuller of monsters, washing the very wharves of our cities and the gardens of our sea-side residences. Serpents, bears, hyenas, tigers rapidly vanish as civilization advances, but the most populous and civilized city cannot scare a shark far from its wharves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“As life runs on, the road grows strange
With faces new,and near the end
The milestones into headstones change,
Neath every one a friend.”
—James Russell Lowell (18191891)
