Spruce Kings

Famous quotes containing the words spruce and/or kings:

    The most primitive places left with us are the swamps, where the spruce still grows shaggy with usnea.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Sometimes it takes years to really grasp what has happened to your life. What do you do after you are world-famous and nineteen or twenty and you have sat with prime ministers, kings and queens, the Pope? What do you do after that? Do you go back home and take a job? What do you do to keep your sanity? You come back to the real world.
    Wilma Rudolph (1940–1994)
