Famous quotes containing the words louis and/or smith:

    For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    He sowed our spawn in the world’s dim dawn,
    And I know that it shall not die;
    —Langdon Smith (1858–1908)
