Famous quotes containing the words fruit and/or rotting:
“Punishment is a fruit that unsuspected ripens within the flower of the pleasure which concealed it. Cause and effect, means and ends, seed and fruit, cannot be severed; for the effect already blooms in the cause, the end preexists in the means, the fruit in the seed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Damn you, England. You’re rotting now, and quite soon you’ll disappear. My hate will outrun you yet if only for a few seconds. I wish it could be eternal.”
—John Osborne (b. 1929)
