Famous quotes containing the words farmers and/or receive:
“What is commonly honored with the name of Friendship is no very profound or powerful instinct. Men do not, after all, love their Friends greatly. I do not often see the farmers made seers and wise to the verge of insanity by their Friendship for one another. They are not often transfigured and translated by love in each other’s presence. I do not observe them purified, refined, and elevated by the love of a man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If you don’t understand it, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is because you are too decadent to receive it.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
