Surface Boulders

Famous quotes containing the words surface and/or boulders:

    We say justly that the weak person is flat, for, like all flat substances, he does not stand in the direction of his strength, that is, on his edge, but affords a convenient surface to put upon. He slides all the way through life.... But the brave man is a perfect sphere, which cannot fall on its flat side and is equally strong every way.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I farm a pasture where the boulders lie
    As touching as a basketful of eggs....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
