Famous quotes containing the words green and/or left:

    “People in America, of course, live in all sorts of fashions, because they are foreigners, or unlucky, or depraved, or without ambition; people live like that, but Americans live in white detached houses with green shutters. Rigidly, blindly, the dream takes precedence.”
    —Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

    “my heart leaps
    in wonder.
    Cold, fresh, deep, I feel the word ‘water’
    spelled in my left palm.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
