Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or home:
“You ask if there is no doctrine of sorrow in my philosophy. Of acute sorrow I suppose that I know comparatively little. My saddest and most genuine sorrows are apt to be but transient regrets. The place of sorrow is supplied, perchance, by a certain hard and proportionately barren indifference. I am of kin to the sod, and partake of its dull patience,in winter expecting the sun of spring.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“My dear dear Mother,
If you dont let me come home I dieI am all over ink,
and my fine clothes have been spoiltI have been tost in a blanket, and seen a ghost.
I remain, my dear dear Mother,
Your dutiful and most unhappy son,
Freddy.
P.S. Remember me to my Father.”
—Frederick Reynolds (18th century)
