Famous quotes containing the words latest and/or features:

    The latest creed that has to be believed
    And entered in our childish catechism
    Is that the All’s a concept self-conceived,
    Which is no more than good old Pantheism.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
