Adventures in the Rocky Mountains Quotes

“I have found a dream of beauty at which one might look all one's life and sigh.”
― Isabella Bird, Adventures in the Rocky Mountains

“One of the most painful things in the Western States and Territories is the extinction of childhood. I have never seen any children, only debased imitations of men and women, cankered by greed and selfishness, and asserting and gaining complete independence of their parents at ten years old. The atmosphere in which they are brought up is one of greed, godlessness, and frequently of profanity.”
― Isabella Lucy Bird, Adventures in the Rocky Mountains
