Famous quotes containing the words mountain, dew and/or energy:

On all the tragic scene they stare.

Their eyes mid many wrinkles, their eyes,
Their ancient, glittering eyes, are gay.”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Viewed narrowly, all life is universal hunger and an expression of energy associated with it.”
