Famous quotes containing the words green, apple and/or card:
“a shiver, a delight
that what is passing
is here, as if
a snake went by, green in the
gray leaves.”

“One mustn’t ask apple trees for oranges, France for sun, women for love, life for happiness.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
“Mothers are not the nameless, faceless stereotypes who appear once a year on a greeting card with their virtues set to prose, but women who have been dealt a hand for life and play each card one at a time the best way they know how. No mother is all good or all bad, all laughing or all serious, all loving or all angry. Ambivalence rushes through their veins.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
