Famous quotes containing the words oak and/or tree:
“Alas for America as I must so often say, the ungirt, the diffuse, the profuse, procumbent, one wide ground juniper, out of which no cedar, no oak will rear up a mast to the clouds! It all runs to leaves, to suckers, to tendrils, to miscellany. The air is loaded with poppy, with imbecility, with dispersion, & sloth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Captain, it is I, Ensign Pulver. And I just threw your stinking palm tree overboard. Now what’s all this crud about no movie tonight?”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
