Famous quotes containing the words washington and/or elm:

    “Have you ever been in love? A doll in Washington Heights once got a fox fur out of me.”
    —Jay Dratler, U.S. screenwriter, Samuel Hoffenstein (1889–1947)

    “Men nowhere, east or west, live yet a natural life, round which the vine clings, and which the elm willingly shadows. Man would desecrate it by his touch, and so the beauty of the world remains veiled to him. He needs not only to be spiritualized, but naturalized, on the soil of earth.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
