Famous quotes containing the words mountain and/or institution:
“The most stupendous scenery ceases to be sublime when it becomes distinct, or in other words limited, and the imagination is no longer encouraged to exaggerate it. The actual height and breadth of a mountain or a waterfall are always ridiculously small; they are the imagined only that content us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every institution not only carries within it the seeds of its own dissolution, but prepares the way for its most hated rival.”
—W.R. (William Ralph)
