Famous quotes containing the words hunter and/or gathers:
“There is on the earth no institution which Friendship has established; it is not taught by any religion; no scripture contains its maxims. It has no temple, nor even a solitary column. There goes a rumor that the earth is inhabited, but the shipwrecked mariner has not seen a footprint on the shore. The hunter has found only fragments of pottery and the monuments of inhabitants.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
