Wild

Famous quotes containing the word wild:

“When among wild beasts, if they menace you, be a wild beast.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

““... Let the cage bird and the cage bird mate and the wild bird mate in the wild.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“The mountainous region of the State of Maine stretches from near the White Mountains, northeasterly one hundred and sixty miles, to the head of the Aroostook River, and is about sixty miles wide. The wild or unsettled portion is far more extensive. So that some hours only of travel in this direction will carry the curious to the verge of a primitive forest, more interesting, perhaps, on all accounts, than they would reach by going a thousand miles westward.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
