Famous quotes containing the words state and/or reptile:
“I met a Californian who would
Talk California—a state so blessed
He said, in climate, none had ever died there
A natural death, and Vigilance Committees
Had had to organize to stock the graveyards
And vindicate the state’s humanity.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“When the reptile is attacked at one mouth of his burrow, he shows himself at another.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
