Famous quotes containing the words white and/or pine:

    The city of Washington is in some respects self-contained, and it is easy there to forget what the rest of the United States is thinking about. I count it a fortunate circumstance that almost all the windows of the White House and its offices open upon unoccupied spaces that stretch to the banks of the Potomac ... and that as I sit there I can constantly forget Washington and remember the United States.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    Lodgepole
    coneseed waits for fire
    And then thin forests of silver-grey.
    in the void
    a pine cone falls
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
