Famous quotes containing the words southern and/or highlands:

    “The Great South Beach of Long Island,... though wild and desolate, as it wants the bold bank,... possesses but half the grandeur of Cape Cod in my eyes, nor is the imagination contented with its southern aspect.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
    My heart’s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;
    Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe:
    My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go.”
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)
