Famous quotes containing the words grows, grain and/or worth:
“Now I am terrified at the Earth, it is that calm and patient,
It grows such sweet things out of such corruptions,
It turns harmless and stainless on its axis, with such endless
successions of diseas’d corpses,
It distills such exquisite winds out of such infused fetor,
It renews with such unwitting looks its prodigal, annual, sumptuous
crops,
It gives such divine materials to men, and accepts such leavings
from them at last.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“Raise children for your old age as you would store up grain against famine.”
—Chinese proverb.
“If you can’t believe a little in what you see on the screen, it’s not worth wasting your time on cinema.”
—Serge Daney (1944–1992)
