Famous quotes containing the words arctic and/or lands:

    “Nature confounds her summer distinctions at this season. The heavens seem to be nearer the earth. The elements are less reserved and distinct. Water turns to ice, rain to snow. The day is but a Scandinavian night. The winter is an arctic summer.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Joseph, when I had jewels and lands and palaces, I was often weary and discontent. When everything was taken away, except my life, I learned that the way to be really happy is to serve others, to be needed.”
    —Adele Comandini. Edward Sutherland. Madam Tanya (Maria Ouspenskaya)
