Famous quotes containing the word woods:

    “The woods were as fresh and full of vegetable life as a lichen in wet weather, and contained many interesting plants; but unless they are of white pine, they are treated with as little respect here as a mildew, and in the other case they are only the more quickly cut down.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
