Famous quotes containing the words east and/or riding:
“The majority of the men of the North, and of the South and East and West, are not men of principle. If they vote, they do not send men to Congress on errands of humanity; but while their brothers and sisters are being scourged and hung for loving liberty,... it is the mismanagement of wood and iron and stone and gold which concerns them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Strong Men, riding horses. In the West
On a range five hundred files. A Thousand. Reaching
From dawn to sunset.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
