Famous quotes containing the words talking and/or trees:
“Kasper Gutman: You’re a closemouthed man?
Sam Spade: Un, un. I like to talk.
Gutman: Better and better. I distrust a closemouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking is something you can’t do judiciously unless you keep in practice.”
—John Huston (1906–1987)
“A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
