Famous quotes containing the words antiquities and/or war:
“Our own country furnishes antiquities as ancient and durable, and as useful, as any; rocks at least as well covered with lichens, and a soil which, if it is virgin, is but virgin mould, the very dust of nature. What if we cannot read Rome or Greece, Etruria or Carthage, or Egypt or Babylon, on these; are our cliffs bare?”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“... War is for everyone, for children too.
I wasnt going to tell you and I mustnt.
The best way is to come uphill with me
And have our fire and laugh and be afraid.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
