Famous quotes containing the word grub:

    I have tasted but little bread in my life. It has been mere grub and provender for the most part. Of bread that nourished the brain and the heart, scarcely any. There is absolutely none on the tables even of the rich.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    O Grub Street! how do I bemoan thee,
    Whose graceless children scorn to own thee!
    ... Yet thou hast greater cause to be
    Ashamed of them, than they of thee.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    The Anglo-American can indeed cut down, and grub up all this waving forest, and make a stump speech, and vote for Buchanan on its ruins, but he cannot converse with the spirit of the tree he fells, he cannot read the poetry and mythology which retire as he advances. He ignorantly erases mythological tablets in order to print his handbills and town-meeting warrants on them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
