Sweet Grass County

Famous quotes containing the words sweet, grass and/or county:

    If you stand right fronting and face to face to a fact, you will see the sun glimmer on both its surfaces, as if it were a cimeter, and feel its sweet edge dividing you through the heart and marrow, and so you will happily conclude your mortal career. Be it life or death, we crave only reality. If we are really dying, let us hear the rattle in our throats and feel cold in the extremities; if we are alive, let us go about our business.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    They live everywhere
    on forest grass and water
    that they’ve taken for themselves
    and even then,
    the love of a buck and his doe
    ends only in death.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    But I would say to my fellows, once for all, As long as possible live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you are committed to a farm or the county jail.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
