Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:

    It is extraordinary that when you are acquainted with a whole family you can forget about them.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    The Anglo-American can indeed cut down, and grub up all this waving forest, and make a stump speech, and vote for Buchanan on its ruins, but he cannot converse with the spirit of the tree he fells, he cannot read the poetry and mythology which retire as he advances. He ignorantly erases mythological tablets in order to print his handbills and town-meeting warrants on them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
