Travelers Thought Lansing

Famous quotes containing the words travelers and/or thought:

    Grow your tree of falsehood from a small grain of truth.
    Do not follow those who lie in contempt of reality.
    Let your lie be even more logical than the truth itself,
    So the weary travelers may find repose.
    Czeslaw Milosz (b. 1911)

    I thought it a pity that some poor student did not live there, to profit by all that light, since he would not rob the mariner.... Think of fifteen Argand lamps to read the newspaper by! Government oil!—light enough, perchance, to read the Constitution by! I thought that he should read nothing less than his Bible by that lamp.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
