Monstrous Compendium Annual

Famous quotes containing the words monstrous and/or annual:

    She imagines herself clean as a fish,
    evasive, solitary, dumb. Her prayer:
    to make peace with her own monstrous nature.
    Elaine Feinstein (b. 1930)

    I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
