Famous quotes containing the words lime, green and/or set:
“In our large cities, the population is godless, materialized,—no bond, no fellow-feeling, no enthusiasm. These are not men, but hungers, thirsts, fevers, and appetites walking. How is it people manage to live on,—so aimless as they are? After their peppercorn aims are gained, it seems as if the lime in their bones alone held them together, and not any worthy purpose.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Therefore awake! make haste, I say,
And let us, without staying,
All in our gowns of green so gay
Into the Park a-maying!”
—Unknown. Sister, Awake! (L. 9–12)
“Groot: Now wait a minute, Quo. You really ain’t gonna take a man’s only set of teeth, are ya?

Groot: Yeah, but I gotta use ‘em for eatin’.
Quo: Come grub you get ‘em.
Groot: Whad ya’ gonna do with ‘em?
Quo: My name now Two-Jaw Quo.”
—Borden Chase [Frank Fowler] (1900–1971)
