Adventure Fields

Famous quotes containing the words adventure and/or fields:

“An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

“The landscape was clothed in a mild and quiet light, in which the woods and fences checkered and partitioned it with new regularity, and rough and uneven fields stretched away with lawn-like smoothness to the horizon, and the clouds, finely distinct and picturesque, seemed a fit drapery to hang over fairyland. The world seemed decked for some holiday or prouder pageantry ... like a green lane into a country maze, at the season when fruit-trees are in blossom.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
