Red Mountains

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or mountains:

“The air is precious to the red man, for all things share the same breath—the beast, the tree, the man, they all share the same breath. The white man does not seem to notice the air he breathes. Like a man dying for many days, he is numb to the stench.”
—Attributed to Seattle (c. 1784–1866)

“In the mountains there are thousand-year-old trees, but in the towns there are hardly any hundred-year-old people.”
