Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:
“English people apparently queue up as a sort of hobby. A family man might pass a mild autumn evening by taking the wife and kids to stand in the cinema queue for a while and then leading them over for a few minutes in the sweetshop queue and then, as a special treat for the kids, saying “Perhaps we’ve time to have a look at the Number Thirty-One bus queue before we turn in.””
—Calvin Trillin (b. 1940)
“A tree swayed overwater.
A voice said:
Stay. Stay by the slip-ooze. Stay.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
