Desert Visitor Center

Famous quotes containing the words desert, visitor and/or center:

    Numerous as birds; but the birds fly away....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    A shadow fleeting; she is never plain.
    She is a visitor who leaves behind
    The gift of grief, the souvenir of pain.”
    —Robert Nathan (1894–1985)

    “Death is someone you see very clearly with eyes in the center of your heart: eyes that see not by reacting to light, but by reacting to a kind of a chill from within the marrow of your own life.”
