Famous quotes containing the words shatter and/or cones:

“He raised a sigh so piteous and profound
That it did seem to shatter all his bulk
And end his being.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Here was a little of everything in a small compass to satisfy the wants and the ambition of the woods,... but there seemed to me, as usual, a preponderance of children’s toys,—dogs to bark, and cats to mew, and trumpets to blow, where natives there hardly are yet. As if a child born into the Maine woods, among the pine cones and cedar berries, could not do without such a sugar-man or skipping-jack as the young Rothschild has.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
