Annual Pikes Peak

Famous quotes containing the words annual, pikes and/or peak:

    I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Though lads are making pikes again
    For some conspiracy,
    And crazy rascals rage their fill
    At human tyranny;
    My contemplations are of Time....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I think I’ve been good, but I want to be better. I think women reach their peak in their mid-thirties.
    Mary Decker Slaney (b. 1958)
