N. Scott Momaday

Quotes

• “There was a house made of dawn. It was made of pollen and of rain, and the land was very old and everlasting.”

• “Against the winter sky and the long, light valley of the landscape at dawn, he seemed almost to be standing still, very little and alone.”

• “And the journey is an evocation of... a landscape that is incomparable, a time that is gone forever, and the human spirit, which endures.”

• “Riding is an exercise of the mind. I dreamed a good deal on the back of my horse, going out into the hills alone.”
