Hours Long

Famous quotes containing the words hours and/or long:

“The mountainous region of the State of Maine stretches from near the White Mountains, northeasterly one hundred and sixty miles, to the head of the Aroostook River, and is about sixty miles wide. The wild or unsettled portion is far more extensive. So that some hours only of travel in this direction will carry the curious to the verge of a primitive forest, more interesting, perhaps, on all accounts, than they would reach by going a thousand miles westward.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“You can get assent to almost any proposition so long as you are not going to do anything about it.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
