Famous quotes containing the words magic, tree and/or house:
“A full bosom is actually a millstone around a woman’s neck: it endears her to the men who want to make their mammet of her, but she is never allowed to think that their popping eyes actually see her. Her breasts ... are not parts of a person but lures slung around her neck, to be kneaded and twisted like magic putty, or mumbled and mouthed like lolly ices.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.”
—Chinese proverb.
“What is the use of a house if you have n’t got a tolerable planet to put it on?—if you cannot tolerate the planet it is on?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
