Famous quotes containing the words woods and/or store:
“That devilish Iron Horse, whose ear-rending neigh is heard throughout the town, has muddied the Boiling Spring with his foot, and he it is that has browsed off all the woods on Walden shore, that Trojan horse, with a thousand men in his belly, introduced by mercenary Greeks! Where is the countrys champion, the Moore of Moore Hall, to meet him at the Deep Cut and thrust an avenging lance between the ribs of the bloated pest?”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“There used to be a thing or a commodity we put great store by. It was called the People. Find out where the People have gone. I dont mean the square-eyed toothpaste-and-hair-dye people or the new-car-or-bust people, or the success-and-coronary people. Maybe they never existed, but if there ever were the People, thats the commodity the Declaration was talking about, and Mr. Lincoln.”
—John Steinbeck (19021968)
