Famous quotes containing the words irving, stone and/or letters:

    Luxury spreads its ample board before their eyes; but they are excluded from the banquet. Plenty revels over the fields; but they are starving in the midst of its abundance: the whole wilderness has blossomed into a garden; but they feel as reptiles that infest it.
    —Washington Irving (1783–1859)

    “That rough tooth of the sea,” Kineo, great source of arrows and of spears to the ancients, when weapons of stone were used.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Do not write me studied letters but ramble as you please.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
