Famous quotes containing the words russell and/or square:

    The mind can weave itself warmly in the cocoon of its own thoughts, and dwell a hermit anywhere.
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
