Famous quotes containing the words grass and/or pillow:

    Then cut down the trees when lumber grown,
    And there’s your pristine earth all freed
    From lovely blooming but wasteful weed
    And ready again for the grass to own.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    With the half of a broken hope for a pillow at night
    That somehow the right is the right
    And the smooth shall bloom from the rough:
    Lord, if that were enough?
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
