Famous quotes containing the word leaves:

You feel so tired inside,
Your thoughts begin to shrivel up
Like leaves all brown and dried!”

“The rich earth, of its own self made rich,
Fertile of its own leaves and days and wars,
Of its brown wheat rapturous in the wind,
The nature of its women in the air,
The stern voices of its necessitous men,
This chorus as of those that wanted to live.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“All is disgust when a man leaves his own nature and does what is unfit.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
