Grow

Famous quotes containing the word grow:

“I had heard so much about how hard it was supposed to be that, when they were little, I thought it would be horrible when they got married and left. But that’s silly you know. . . . By the time they grow up, they change and you change. Eventually, they’re not the same little kids and you’re not the same mother. It’s as if everything just falls into a pattern and you’re ready.”
—Anonymous Mother. As quoted in Women of a Certain Age, by Lillian B. Rubin, ch. 2 (1979)

“Some give freely, yet grow all the richer; others withhold what is due, and only suffer want.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 11:24.

“Darling, all night
I have been flickering, off, on, off, on.
The sheets grow heavy as a lecher’s kiss.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
