Lay Quarters

Famous quotes containing the words lay and/or quarters:

“Slowly he entered dark and silence and lay there for so long that with what judgement remained he judged them to be final.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

“Before I finally went into winter quarters in November, I used to resort to the north- east side of Walden, which the sun, reflected from the pitch pine woods and the stony shore, made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter and wholesomer to be warmed by the sun while you can be, than by an artificial fire. I thus warmed myself by the still glowing embers which the summer, like a departed hunter, had left.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
