Famous quotes containing the word plants:

    The holly and the ivy
    Are plants that are well known

    The holly bears the crown.
    —Unknown. The Holly and the Ivy (l. 1–4)

    ... feminism is a political term and it must be recognized as such: it is political in women’s terms. What are these terms? Essentially it means making connections: between personal power and economic power, between domestic oppression and labor exploitation, between plants and chemicals, feelings and theories; it means making connections between our inside worlds and the outside world.
    Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)

    He who plants a tree
    Plants a hope.
    Lucy Larcom (1826–1893)
