Whistler Village

Famous quotes containing the words whistler and/or village:

“You should not say it is not good. You should say you do not like it; and then, you know, you’re perfectly safe.”
—James Mcneill Whistler (1834–1903)

“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
