Famous quotes containing the words long and/or wharf:

    “It seems perfectly simple and inevitable, like lying down after a long day’s work.”
    —Robert Erskine Childers (1870–1922)

    “They commonly celebrate those beaches only which have a hotel on them, not those which have a humane house alone. But I wished to see that seashore where man’s works are wrecks; to put up at the true Atlantic House, where the ocean is land-lord as well as sea-lord, and comes ashore without a wharf for the landing; where the crumbling land is the only invalid, or at best is but dry land, and that is all you can say of it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
