Famous quotes containing the words big and/or bags:
“The true gardener then brushes over the ground with slow and gentle hand, to liberate a space for breath round some favourite; but he is not thinking about destruction except incidentally.

—Freya Stark (1893–1993)
“Some dead undid their bushy jaws,

—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
