Famous quotes containing the words black and/or township:
“Invention flags, his brain goes muddy,
And black despair succeeds brown study.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)
“A township where one primitive forest waves above while another primitive forest rots below,—such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes, but poets and philosophers for the coming ages. In such a soil grew Homer and Confucius and the rest, and out of such a wilderness comes the Reformer eating locusts and wild honey.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
