Red Mountains

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or mountains:

“It was almost two years ago, while awaiting the imminent birth of my second child, that I decided to start working part-time. This would have been unthinkable to me when I was younger. At twenty-five I should have worn a big red A on my chest; it would have stood for ambition, an ambition so brazen and burning that it would have reduced Hester Prynne’s transgression to pale pink.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)

“In the mountains there are thousand-year-old trees, but in the towns there are hardly any hundred-year-old people.”
—Chinese proverb.
