5 QUOTES WITH «WIDE-OPEN»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word wide-open.
1
David Duchovny
I love the ocean, wide-open space and trees, but I'm not a gardener or anything like that. I think I may be, eventually. I was raised in the city, so I don't have that skill set, but my heart is more with the dirt than the concrete. It's an unrequited love with nature - a one-way love affair.
2
Matthew Fox
I enjoy a four-seasonal climate and wide-open spaces, so being on an island 2,500 miles into the South Pacific made me feel a little claustrophobic.
3
Christopher Fry

5
Robert Taylor
I grew up in wide-open spaces, but they didn't have the romantic history of the West.
