Red Sea Coast

Famous quotes containing the words red, sea and/or coast:

    The remnant of Indians thereabout—all but exterminated in their recent and final war with regular white troops, a war waged by the Red Men for their native soil and natural rights—had been coerced into the occupancy of wilds not far beyond the Mississippi.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    I wouldn’t think of asking you to lie; you haven’t the necessary diplomatic training.
    —John Farrow. Consul in Valparaiso, The Sea Chase (1955)

    Have we even so much as discovered and settled the shores? Let a man travel on foot along the coast ... and tell me if it looks like a discovered and settled country, and not rather, for the most part, like a desolate island, and No-Man’s Land.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
