Famous quotes containing the words san and/or mountain:
“Today, San Francisco has experienced a double tragedy of incredible proportions. As acting mayor, I order an immediate state of mourning in our city. The city and county of San Francisco must and will pull itself together at this time. We will carry on as best as we possibly can.... I think we all have to share the same sense of shame and the same sense of outrage.”
—Dianne Feinstein (b. 1933)
“‘Tis distance lends enchantment to the view,
And robes the mountain in its azure hue.”
—Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)
