Famous quotes containing the words green and/or monster:
“The bud of the apple is desire, the down-falling gold,
The catbird’s gobble in the morning half-awake
These are real only if I make them so. Whistle
For me, grow green for me and, as you whistle and grow green,
Intangible arrows quiver and stick in the skin
And I taste at the root of the tongue the unreal of what is real.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Ingratitude is monstrous, and for the multitude to be
ingrateful were to make a monster of the multitude.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
