Famous quotes containing the words john and/or wilder:

    The crusade against Communism was even more imaginary than the spectre of Communism.
    —A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)

    The ocean is a wilderness reaching round the globe, wilder than a Bengal jungle, and fuller of monsters, washing the very wharves of our cities and the gardens of our sea-side residences. Serpents, bears, hyenas, tigers rapidly vanish as civilization advances, but the most populous and civilized city cannot scare a shark far from its wharves.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
