Famous quotes containing the words observatory and/or hill:

    “Where there is an observatory and a telescope, we expect that any eyes will see new worlds at once.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Who knows but this hill may one day be a Helvellyn, or even a Parnassus, and the Muses haunt here, and other Homers frequent the neighboring plains?... It was a place where gods might wander, so solemn and solitary, and removed from all contagion with the plain.”
