Famous quotes containing the words terra and/or venture:
“A book should contain pure discoveries, glimpses of terra firma, though by shipwrecked mariners, and not the art of navigation by those who have never been out of sight of land. They must not yield wheat and potatoes, but must themselves be the unconstrained and natural harvest of their author’s lives.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Our venture in revolution and outlawry
Has justified itself in freedom’s story
Right down to now in glory upon glory.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
