Famous quotes containing the words wood and/or wrote:
“We worshipped,
we parted green from green,
we sought further thickets,
we dipped our ankles
through leaf-mould and earth,
and wood and wood-bank enchanted us.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Somerset Maugham ... wrote somewhere that “Nobody is any better than he ought to be.”... I carried it along with me as a working philosophy, but I suppose that finally I would have to take exception to the thought ... or else the universe is just an elaborate clock.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
