Famous quotes containing the words plum and/or village:
“bees
dig the plum blossoms”
—Charles Olson (1910–1970)
“When a village ceases to be a community, it becomes oppressive in its narrow conformity. So one becomes an individual and migrates to the city. There, finding others likeminded, one re- establishes a village community. Nowadays only New Yorkers are yokels.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
