Trees Fall

Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or fall:

    It is as when a migrating army of mice girdles a forest of pines. The chopper fells trees from the same motive that the mouse gnaws them,—to get his living. You tell me that he has a more interesting family than the mouse. That is as it happens.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I think the fall from the farmer to the operative as great and memorable as that from the man to the farmer.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
