Famous quotes containing the words slide, mountain and/or ocean:

    “We can slide it

    They call it easing the Spring.”
    —Henry Reed (1914–1986)

    “Again, he felt a crude ecstasy. He could not have given the reason, but the mountain tormented him, beckoned him, held an answer to something he wanted. It was so pure, so austere.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    “Here, in this little Bay,
    Full of tumultuous life and great repose,
    Where, twice a day,
    The purposeless, glad ocean comes and goes,”
