Famous quotes containing the words owl, mountains, landscape and/or park:

    “The owl is abroad, the bat and the toad,
    And so is the cat-a-mountain;
    The ant and the mole sit both in a hole,
    And frog peeps out o’ the fountain.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “It is true that genius takes its rise out of the mountains of rectitude; that all beauty and power which men covet are somehow born out of that Alpine district; that any extraordinary degree of beauty in man or woman involves a moral charm.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The good is, like nature, an immense landscape in which man advances through centuries of exploration.”
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    “Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
    —Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)
