Flowering Plants

Famous quotes containing the words flowering and/or plants:

    we, outlaws on God’s property,
    Fling out imagination beyond the skies,
    Wishing a tangible good from the unknown.
    And likewise death will drive us from the scene
    With the great flowering world unbroken yet,
    Which we held in idea, a little handful.
    Richard Eberhart (b. 1904)

    ... feminism is a political term and it must be recognized as such: it is political in women’s terms. What are these terms? Essentially it means making connections: between personal power and economic power, between domestic oppression and labor exploitation, between plants and chemicals, feelings and theories; it means making connections between our inside worlds and the outside world.
    Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)
