Famous quotes containing the words fruit and/or rot:

    And, shrilling from the solar course,
    Or from fruit of chemic force,
    Procession of a soul in matter,
    Or the speeding change of water,
    Or out of the good of evil born,
    Came Uriel’s voice of cherub scorn,
    And a blush tinged the upper sky,
    And the gods shook, they knew not why.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Three foggy mornings and one rainy day
    Will rot the best birch fence a man can build.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
