Mountain Men

Famous quotes containing the words mountain and/or men:

    The mountain and the squirrel
    Had a quarrel,

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The Spirit of Place [does not] exert its full influence upon a newcomer until the old inhabitant is dead or absorbed. So America.... The moment the last nuclei of Red [Indian] life break up in America, then the white men will have to reckon with the full force of the demon of the continent.
