Famous quotes containing the words rocky and/or wood:

    It is what we imagine knowledge to be:
    dark, salt, clear, moving, utterly free,
    drawn from the cold hard mouth
    of the world, derived from the rocky breasts
    forever, flowing and drawn, and since
    our knowledge is historical, flowing, and flown.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    For if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 23:31.
