Famous quotes containing the words vegetable and/or today:

    All our progress is an unfolding, like the vegetable bud. You first have an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge, as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason. It is vain to hurry it. By trusting it to the end, it shall ripen into truth, and you shall know why you believe.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Oh, how much is today hidden by science! Oh, how much it is expected to hide!
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
