Cape Breton Screaming

Famous quotes containing the words cape, breton and/or screaming:

“A solitary traveler whom we saw perambulating in the distance loomed like a giant. He appeared to walk slouchingly, as if held up from above by straps under his shoulders, as much as supported by the plain below. Men and boys would have appeared alike at a little distance, there being no object by which to measure them. Indeed, to an inlander, the Cape landscape is a constant mirage.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Shall we go learn to kiss, to kiss?
Never heart could ever miss
Comfort, where true meaning is.”
—Nicholas Breton (1542–1626)

“My characters never die screaming in rage. They attempt to pull themselves back together and go on. And that’s basically a conservative view of life.”
—Jane Smiley (b. 1949)
