Famous quotes containing the words green, grow and/or rushes:

    “And a man of tan engages
    For the springtime of her pride,
    Eats the green by easy stages,
    Nibbles at the root beneath
    With intimidating teeth.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “Sins become more subtle as you grow older: you commit sins of despair rather than lust.”
    —Piers Paul Read (b. 1941)

    “No legislation can suppress nature; all life rushes to reproduction; our procreative faculties are matured early, while passion is strong, and judgment and self-restraint weak. We cannot alter this, but we can alter what is conventional. We can refuse to brand an act of nature as a crime, and to impute to vice what is due to ignorance.”
    —Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
