Famous quotes containing the word growth:

    Cities force growth and make men talkative and entertaining, but they make them artificial. What possesses interest for us is the natural of each, his constitutional excellence. This is forever a surprise, engaging and lovely; we cannot be satiated with knowing it, and about it; and it is this which the conversation with Nature cherishes and guards.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place.
    Günther Grass (b. 1927)

    All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
