Famous quotes containing the words forest and/or preserve:

    “The reason is:
    rats leave the sinking ship
    but we . . .
    we . . .
    didn’t leave,
    so the ship
    didn’t sink,
    and that’s madness,
    Lear’s song
    that’s Touchstone’s forest jest,
    that’s swan of Avon logic.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “There are times when even the most potent governor must wink at transgression, in order to preserve the laws inviolate for the future.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
