Famous quotes containing the words john and/or hunter:

    “You are at your very best when things are worst.”
    —Raynold Gideon, U.S. screenwriter, and John Carpenter. Starman (Jeff Bridges)

    “There is on the earth no institution which Friendship has established; it is not taught by any religion; no scripture contains its maxims. It has no temple, nor even a solitary column. There goes a rumor that the earth is inhabited, but the shipwrecked mariner has not seen a footprint on the shore. The hunter has found only fragments of pottery and the monuments of inhabitants.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
