Famous quotes containing the words eastern, mexico and/or university:
“Midway the lake we took on board two manly-looking middle-aged men.... I talked with one of them, telling him that I had come all this distance partly to see where the white pine, the Eastern stuff of which our houses are built, grew, but that on this and a previous excursion into another part of Maine I had found it a scarce tree; and I asked him where I must look for it. With a smile, he answered that he could hardly tell me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I think New Mexico was the greatest experience from the outside world that I have ever had.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The most important function of the university in an age of reason is to protect reason from itself.”
