Famous quotes containing the words interior and/or plains:
“It cannot but affect our philosophy favorably to be reminded of these shoals of migratory fishes, of salmon, shad, alewives, marsh-bankers, and others, which penetrate up the innumerable rivers of our coast in the spring, even to the interior lakes, their scales gleaming in the sun; and again, of the fry which in still greater numbers wend their way downward to the sea.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“The Plains are not forgiving. Anything that is shallowthe easy optimism of a homesteader; the false hope that denies geography, climate, history; the tree whose roots dont reach ground waterwill dry up and blow away.”
—Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)
