Famous quotes containing the words painted and/or wood:
“Arthur was very small.
He was all white, like a doll
that hadn’t been painted yet.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“It is remarkable what a value is still put upon wood even in this age and in this new country, a value more permanent and universal than that of gold. After all our discoveries and inventions no man will go by a pile of wood. It is as precious to us as it was to our Saxon and Norman ancestors. If they made their bows of it, we make our gun-stocks of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
