Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or village:

    Our Indian said that he was a doctor, and could tell me some medicinal use for every plant I could show him ... proving himself as good as his word. According to his account, he had acquired such knowledge in his youth from a wise old Indian with whom he associated, and he lamented that the present generation of Indians “had lost a great deal.”
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Zhivago: It seems you bombed the wrong village.
    Strelnikov: They always say that. And what does it matter? A village betrays us, a village is burned. The point made.
    Zhivago: Your point. Their village.
    Robert Bolt (1924–1995)
