Stern Drive

Famous quotes containing the words stern and/or drive:

“It is even more grim and wild than you had anticipated, a damp and intricate wilderness, in the spring everywhere wet and miry.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“It is possible to lead astray an entire generation, to strike it blind, to drive it insane, to direct it towards a false goal. Napoleon proved this.”
