Famous quotes containing the word scenery:

    Charles Foster Kane: You always said you wanted to live in a palace.
    Susan Alexander: Oh, a person could go crazy in this dump. Nobody to talk to, nobody to have any fun with.
    Charles Foster Kane: Susan.
    Susan Alexander: Forty-nine thousand acres of nothing but scenery and statues. I’m lonely.
    Orson Welles (1915–1985)

    The secret of heaven is kept from age to age. No imprudent, no sociable angel ever dropt an early syllable to answer the longings of saints, the fears of mortals. We should have listened on our knees to any favorite, who, by stricter obedience, had brought his thoughts into parallelism with the celestial currents, and could hint to human ears the scenery and circumstance of the newly parted soul.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Usually the scenery about them is drear and savage enough; and the logger’s camp is as completely in the woods as a fungus at the foot of a pine in a swamp; no outlook but to the sky overhead; no more clearing than is made by cutting down the trees of which it is built, and those which are necessary for fuel.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
