Famous quotes containing the words exploration and/or mountains:
“For women who do not love us, as for the “disappeared”, knowing that we no longer have any hope does not prevent us form continuing to wait. We live on our guard, on watch; women whose son has gone asea on a dangerous exploration imagine at any minute, although it has long been certain that he has perished, that he will enter, miraculously saved, and healthy.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“All I could see from where I stood
Was three long mountains and a wood;”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
