Famous quotes containing the word forest:

    “It is as when a migrating army of mice girdles a forest of pines. The chopper fells trees from the same motive that the mouse gnaws them,—to get his living. You tell me that he has a more interesting family than the mouse. That is as it happens.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
