Famous quotes containing the words pine, ridge and/or trail:
“How far men go for the material of their houses! The inhabitants of the most civilized cities, in all ages, send into far, primitive forests, beyond the bounds of their civilization, where the moose and bear and savage dwell, for their pine boards for ordinary use. And, on the other hand, the savage soon receives from cities iron arrow-points, hatchets, and guns, to point his savageness with.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The light passes
from ridge to ridge,
from flower to flower.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“It is not for man to follow the trail of truth too far, since by so doing he entirely loses the directing compass of his mind.”
