Spawn Appeared

Famous quotes containing the words spawn and/or appeared:

    “Wherefore did Nature powre her bounties forth,
    With such a full and unwithdrawing hand,
    Covering the earth with odours, fruits, and flocks,
    Thronging the Seas with spawn innumerable,
    But all to please, and sate the curious taste?”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
    —Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
