Famous quotes containing the words inland and/or britain:
“Wishing to get a better view than I had yet had of the ocean, which, we are told, covers more than two thirds of the globe, but of which a man who lives a few miles inland may never see any trace, more than of another world, I made a visit to Cape Cod.... But having come so fresh to the sea, I have got but little salted.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I see no cameras! Where are the cameras?”
—Mary, Queen of Great Britain (1867–1953)
