“Anything I can say about New Hampshire
Will serve almost as well about Vermont,
Excepting that they differ in their mountains.
The Vermont mountains stretch extended straight;
New Hampshire mountains curl up in a coil.”

All communities have a culture. It is the climate of their civilization.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“This century fulfills the office of road-laborer for the society of the future. We make the road, others will make the journey.”
