Civilized Tribes

Famous quotes containing the words civilized and/or tribes:

“The ocean is a wilderness reaching round the globe, wilder than a Bengal jungle, and fuller of monsters, washing the very wharves of our cities and the gardens of our sea-side residences. Serpents, bears, hyenas, tigers rapidly vanish as civilization advances, but the most populous and civilized city cannot scare a shark far from its wharves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“All the shad’wy tribes of Mind,
In braided dance their murmurs joined,”
—William Collins (1721–1759)
