Famous quotes containing the words summit and/or pound:
“The tops of mountains are among the unfinished parts of the globe, whither it is a slight insult to the gods to climb and pry into their secrets, and try their effect on our humanity. Only daring and insolent men, perchance, go there. Simple races, as savages, do not climb mountains,their tops are sacred and mysterious tracts never visited by them. Pomola is always angry with those who climb the summit of Ktaadn.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Pounds crazy. All poets are.... They have to be. You dont put a poet like Pound in the loony bin. For historys sake we shouldnt keep him there.”
—Ernest Hemingway (18991961)
