Famous quotes containing the words range, front and/or light:
“During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The front aspect of great thoughts can only be enjoyed by those who stand on the side whence they arrive.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When they turn the sun
on again I’ll plant children
under it, I’ll light up my soul
with a match and let it sing....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
