Famous quotes containing the words covered and/or lighter:
“The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“To be in love
Is to touch things with a lighter hand.
In yourself you stretch, you are well.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
