World Ice

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or ice:

“No one is to blame. It is neither their fault nor ours. It is the misfortune of being born when a whole world is dying.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

“When the ice is covered with snow, I do not suspect the wealth under my feet; that there is as good as a mine under me wherever I go. How many pickerel are poised on easy fin fathoms below the loaded wain! The revolution of the seasons must be a curious phenomenon to them. At length the sun and wind brush aside their curtain, and they see the heavens again.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
