Famous quotes containing the words joe, brown and/or live:
“While we were thus engaged in the twilight, we heard faintly, from far down the stream, what sounded like two strokes of a woodchopper’s axe, echoing dully through the grim solitude.... When we told Joe of this, he exclaimed, “By George, I’ll bet that was a moose! They make a noise like that.” These sounds affected us strangely, and by their very resemblance to a familiar one, where they probably had so different an origin, enhanced the impression of solitude and wildness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I am as content to die for God’s eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.”
—John Brown (1800–1859)
“Them Oakies got no sense and no feeling. They ain’t human. No human being wouldn’t live the way they do. A human being couldn’t stand it to be so miserable.”
