White Horse Stone - Lower White Horse Stone

Lower White Horse Stone

Famous quotes containing the words white, horse and/or stone:

    Native always means people who belong somewhere else, because they had once belonged somewhere. That shows that the white race does not really think they belong anywhere because they think of everybody else as native.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    We would not always be soothing and taming nature, breaking the horse and the ox, but sometimes ride the horse wild and chase the buffalo.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Converse: Don’t they say that this is where everybody finds out who they are? Huh?
    Hicks: Yeah. What a bummer for the gooks.
    Judith Rascoe, U.S. screenwriter, Robert Stone (b. 1939)
