Woods

Famous quotes containing the word woods:

    It is a common accident for men camping in the woods to be killed by a falling tree.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Of course it is of no use to direct our steps to the woods, if they do not carry us thither. I am alarmed when it happens that I have walked a mile into the woods bodily, without getting there in spirit.... What business have I in the woods, if I am thinking of something out of the woods?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    At last he rose, and twitch’d his mantle blue,
    Tomorrow to fresh woods and pastures new.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
