Famous quotes containing the words true and/or geese:
“The true story is vicious
and multiple and untrue
after all. Why do you
need it? Don’t ever
ask for the true story.”
—Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)
“As it grew darker, I was startled by the honking of geese flying low over the woods, like weary travellers getting in late from Southern lakes, and indulging at last in unrestrained complaint and mutual consolation. Standing at my door, I could hear the rush of their wings; when, driving toward my house, they suddenly spied my light, and with hushed clamor wheeled and settled in the pond. So I came in, and shut the door, and passed my first spring night in the woods.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
