Swamp Girl

Famous quotes containing the words swamp and/or girl:

    When I would recreate myself, I seek the darkest wood, the thickest and most interminable and, to the citizen, most dismal, swamp. I enter a swamp as a sacred place, a sanctum sanctorum. There is the strength, the marrow, of Nature.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We say that a girl with her doll anticipates the mother. It is more true, perhaps, that most mothers are still but children with playthings.
    —F.H. (Francis Herbert)
