Sides

Famous quotes containing the word sides:

    I knew the stars, the flowers, and the birds,
    The gray and wintry sides of many glens,
    And did but half remember human words,
    In converse with the mountains, moors, and fens.
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    From behind the red gates comes the stink of wine and meat, while along the road sides lie the bones of the frozen dead.
    Chinese proverb.

    A mountain chain determines many things for the statesman and philosopher. The improvements of civilization rather creep along its sides than cross its summit. How often is it a barrier to prejudice and fanaticism!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
