Million Metric Tones

Famous quotes containing the words million and/or tones:

    When will the world learn that a million men are of no importance compared with one man?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    And this mighty master of the organ of language, who knew its every stop and pipe, who could awaken at will the thin silver tones of its slenderest reeds or the solemn cadence of its deepest thunder, who could make it sing like a flute or roar like a cataract, he was born into a country without literature.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
