Famous quotes containing the word seeds:
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“Friends, the soil is poor, we must sow seeds in plenty
for us to garner even modest harvests.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
“The city mouse eats bread and cheese;—
The garden mouse eats what he can;
We will not grudge him seeds and stocks,
Poor little timid furry man.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
