Famous quotes containing the words similar and/or plants:

    “We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general condition.”
    —Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

    “All plants move, but they don’t usually pull themselves out of the ground and chase you.”
    —Philip Yordan (b. 1913)
