Grain Reserves

Famous quotes containing the words grain and/or reserves:

    He showed me that the lines of a good helve
    Were native to the grain before the knife
    Expressed them, and its curves were no false curves
    Put on it from without.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    While you are nurturing your newborn, you need someone to nurture you, whether it is with healthful drinks while you’re nursing, or with words of recognition and encouragement as you talk about your feelings. In this state of continual giving to your infant—whether it is nourishment or care or love—you are easily drained, and you need to be replenished from sources outside yourself so that you will have reserves to draw from.
    Sally Placksin (20th century)
