Famous quotes containing the words domesticated and/or plants:

    Those who marry God can become domesticated too—it’s just as hum-drum a marriage as all the others. The word “Love” means a formal touch of the lips as in the ceremony of the Mass, and “Ave Maria” like “dearest” is a phrase to open a letter.
    Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    Philip Yordan (b. 1913)
