Famous quotes containing the words true and/or root:

    Many children grow through adolescence with no ripples whatever and land smoothly and predictably in the adult world with both feet on the ground. Some who have stumbled and bumbled through childhood suddenly burst into bloom. Most shake, steady themselves, zigzag, fight, retreat, pick up, take new bearings, and finally find their own true balance.
    Stella Chess (20th century)

    Under an oak, whose antique root peeps out
    Upon the brook that brawls along this wood.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
