Famous quotes containing the word mountains:

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

    “We envy not the warmer clime, that lies
    In ten degrees of more indulgent skies,
    Nor at the coarseness of our heaven repine,
    Though o’er our heads the frozen Pleiads shine:
    ‘Tis Liberty that crowns Britannia’s Isle,
    And makes her barren rocks and her bleak mountains smile.”
    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    “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)
