Famous quotes containing the words rare and, rare and/or tracks:

    “If I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people—including me—would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.”
    —Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)

    “Heaven sometimes hedges a rare character about with ungainliness and odium, as the burr that protects the fruit.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I long ago lost a hound, a bay horse, and a turtle-dove, and am still on their trail. Many are the travellers I have spoken concerning them, describing their tracks and what calls they answered to. I have met one or two who had heard the hound, and the tramp of the horse, and even seen the dove disappear behind a cloud, and they seemed as anxious to recover them as if they had lost them themselves.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
