Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or mountains:
“See how the sacred old flamingoes come,
Painting with shadow all the marble steps:
Aged and wise, they seek their wonted perches
Within the temple, devious walking, made
To wander by their melancholy minds.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“In the mountains there are thousand-year-old trees, but in the towns there are hardly any hundred-year-old people.”
