Famous quotes containing the words arctic and/or warfare:

    “Does the first wild-goose care
    whether the others follow or not?
    I don’t think so he is so happy to be off
    he knows where he is going
    so we must be drawn or we must fly,
    like the snow-geese of the Arctic circle.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “What an admirable training is science for the more active warfare of life! Indeed, the unchallenged bravery which these studies imply, is far more impressive than the trumpeted valor of the warrior.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
