Famous quotes containing the word cave:

    The whole cut impressed me as if it were a cave with its stalactites laid open to the light.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    If the sea were ink
    For the words of my Lord,
    the sea would be spent before the Words of my Lord are spent.
