Famous quotes containing the words plant and/or explosion:
“I grow savager and savager every day, as if fed on raw meat, and my tameness is only the repose of untamableness. I dream of looking abroad summer and winter, with free gaze, from some mountain-side,... to be nature looking into nature with such easy sympathy as the blue-eyed grass in the meadow looks in the face of the sky.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Moderation has never yet engineered an explosion ....”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
