Woods

Famous quotes containing the word woods:

“You mustn’t give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get. Until they’re strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree. And then to a higher tree. And then to the sky.”
—George Axelrod (b. 1922)

“What a wilderness walk for a man to take alone! None of your half-mile swamps, none of your mile-wide woods merely, as on the skirts of our towns, without hotels, only a dark mountain or a lake for guide-board and station, over ground much of it impassable in summer!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“He asked if I would sell my Christmas trees;
My woods the young fir balsams like a place
Where houses all are churches and have spires.
I hadn’t thought of them as Christmas trees.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
