Famous quotes containing the words white and/or mountain:

    “Verily, the Indian has but a feeble hold on his bow now; but the curiosity of the white man is insatiable, and from the first he has been eager to witness this forest accomplishment. That elastic piece of wood with its feathered dart, so sure to be unstrung by contact with civilization, will serve for the type, the coat-of-arms of the savage. Alas for the Hunter Race! the white man has driven off their game, and substituted a cent in its place.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “And as it measured in her calipers,
    The mountain stood exalted in its place.
    So love will take between the hands a face. . . .”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
