David Roberts

Famous quotes containing the words david and/or roberts:

    He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    That’s life. Whichever way you turn, fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
