Famous quotes containing the words smoky, mountain and/or high:
“Weve looked and looked, but after all where are we?
Do we know any better where we are,
And how it stands between the night tonight
And a man with a smoky lantern chimney?
How different from the way it ever stood?”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“Ive been up the mountain and I had a choice. Should I come down? So I came down. God said, Okay, youve been up on the mountain, now you go down. Youre on your own, free. Check in later, but now youre on your own.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
“Life! Life! Dont let us go to life for our fulfilment or our experience. It is a thing narrowed by circumstances, incoherent in its utterance, and without that fine correspondence of form and spirit which is the only thing that can satisfy the artistic and critical temperament. It makes us pay too high a price for its wares, and we purchase the meanest of its secrets at a cost that is monstrous and infinite.”
—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
