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

    “Many a green isle needs must be
    In the deep wide sea of Misery,
    Or the mariner, worn and wan,
    Never thus could voyage on”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “The best part of the art of living is to know how to grow old gracefully.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    “There are some women ... in whom conscience is so strongly developed that it leaves little room for anything else. Love is scarcely felt before duty rushes to encase it, anger impossible because one must always be calm and see both sides, pity evaporates in expedients, even grief is felt as a sort of bruised sense of injury, a resentment that one should have grief forced upon one when one has always acted for the best.”
    —Sylvia Townsend Warner (1893–1978)
