Famous quotes containing the words wheat and/or pool:

    “I’m hurt, hurt and humiliated beyond endurance, seeing the wheat ripening, the fountains never ceasing to give water, the sheep bearing hundreds of lambs, the she-dogs, until it seems the whole country rises to show me its tender sleeping young while I feel two hammer-blows here instead of the mouth of my child.”
    —Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)

    “... this dream that men shall cease to waste strength in competition and shall come to pool their powers of production is coming to pass all over the earth.”
    —Jane Addams (1860–1935)
