Famous quotes containing the word mountains:

    “Fogs and clouds which conceal the overshadowing mountains lend the breadth of the plains to mountain vales. Even the small-featured country acquires some grandeur in stormy weather when clouds are seen drifting between the beholder and the neighboring hills.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I’m headed for a land that’s far away
    Beside the crystal fountains.
    So come with me, we’ll go and see
    The Big Rock Candy Mountains.”
    —Unknown. The Big Rock Candy Mountains (l. 5–8)

    “All I could see from where I stood
    Was three long mountains and a wood;”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
