Pine Brook Bridge

Famous quotes containing the words pine, brook and/or bridge:

“Strange that so few ever come to the woods to see how the pine lives and grows and spires, lifting its evergreen arms to the light,—to see its perfect success; but most are content to behold it in the shape of many broad boards brought to market, and deem that its true success! But the pine is no more lumber than man is, and to be made into boards and houses is no more its true and highest use than the truest use of a man is to be cut down and made into manure.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“When a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook and the rustle of the corn.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.”
—Paul Simon (b. 1949)
