Cut Flower Culture

Famous quotes containing the words cut, flower and/or culture:

    In church your grandsire cut his throat;

    He should have had my hearty vote
    To cut his throat before he married.

    Criticism, that fine flower of personal expression in the garden of letters.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    The hatred of the youth culture for adult society is not a disinterested judgment but a terror-ridden refusal to be hooked into the, if you will, ecological chain of breathing, growing, and dying. It is the demand, in other words, to remain children.
    Midge Decter (b. 1927)
