Famous quotes containing the words highest and/or mountains:
“The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, who follows blind instinct, strives to duplicate the reality of nature. The first one elevates art to its highest peak; the second one lowers it to its basest level.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (17491832)
“From the mountains to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam,
God bless America,
My home sweet home!”
