Famous quotes containing the word travels:
“It is only for a little while, only occasionally, methinks, that we want a garden. Surely a good man need not be at the labor to level a hill for the sake of a prospect, or raise fruits and flowers, and construct floating islands, for the sake of a paradise. He enjoys better prospects than lie behind any hill. Where an angel travels it will be paradise all the way, but where Satan travels it will be burning marl and cinders.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Evil counsel travels fast.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“... forgotten signs
all bringing the soul’s travels to a place
of origin, a well
under the lake where the Muse moves.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
