Famous quotes containing the words red and/or mountains:
“He gives the impression of a strong mind which is composed and wise. His brown eye is exceedingly kindly and gentle. A child would like to sit in his lap and a dog would sidle up to him. It is difficult to associate his personality and this impression of kindness and gentle simplicity with what has occurred here in connection with these purges and shootings of the Red Army generals, and so forth.”
—Joseph Davies (18761958)
“We envy not the warmer clime, that lies
In ten degrees of more indulgent skies,
Nor at the coarseness of our heaven repine,
Though oer our heads the frozen Pleiads shine:
Tis Liberty that crowns Britannias Isle,
And makes her barren rocks and her bleak mountains smile.”
—Joseph Addison (16721719)
