Grow

Famous quotes containing the word grow:

“Our roots are in the dark; the earth is our country. Why did we look up for blessing—instead of around, and down? What hope we have lies there. Not in the sky full of orbiting spy-eyes and weaponry, but in the earth we have looked down upon. Not from above, but from below. Not in the light that blinds, but in the dark that nourishes, where human beings grow human souls.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

“Some, for renown, on scraps of learning dote,
And think they grow immortal as they quote.”
—Edward Young (1683–1765)

“The best part of the art of living is to know how to grow old gracefully.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
