Wooden Sticks

Famous quotes containing the words wooden and/or sticks:

    You think a wooden animal
    is a simple thing;
    it’s not.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    It is now many years that men have resorted to the forest for fuel and the materials of the arts: the New Englander and the New Hollander, the Parisian and the Celt, the farmer and Robin Hood, Goody Blake and Harry Gill; in most parts of the world, the prince and the peasant, the scholar and the savage, equally require still a few sticks from the forest to warm them and cook their food. Neither could I do without them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
