Famous quotes containing the words christmas and/or trees:
“Whenever I hear about a child needing something, I ask myself, ‘Is it what he needs or what he wants?’ It isn’t always easy to distinguish between the two. A child has many real needs which can and should be satisfied. His wants are a bottomless pit. He wants, for example, to sleep with his parents. He needs to be in his own bed. At Christmas he wants every toy advertised on television. He needs only one or two.”
—Haim Ginott (20th century)
“an endless wind
Whips at the headstones of the dead and wails
In the trees for all who have and have not sinned.”
—Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
