Mary F. Eastman

Famous quotes containing the words mary and/or eastman:

    Miss Mary Emerson is here,—the youngest person in Concord, though about eighty,—and the most apprehensive of a genuine thought; earnest to know of your inner life; most stimulating society; and exceedly witty withal. She says they called her old when she was young, and she has never grown any older. I wish you could see her.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is all right for the lion and the lamb to lie down together if they are both asleep, but if one of them begins to get active it is dangerous.
    —Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
