Minor Tree Damage

Famous quotes containing the words minor, tree and/or damage:

    There are acacias, a graceful species amusingly devitalized by sentimentality, this kind drooping its leaves with the grace of a young widow bowed in controllable grief, this one obscuring them with a smooth silver as of placid tears. They please, like the minor French novelists of the eighteenth century, by suggesting a universe in which nothing cuts deep.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    A tree the span of two arms starts from a tiny seedling.
    —Chinese proverb.

    Lao-tzu.

    A cure by regression is homeopathic, like healing the damage done by ministers and ignorance with stupidity and Jesuits.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
