Pine Apple

Famous quotes containing the words pine and/or apple:

“In the atom’s fizz and pop we heard possibility
uncorked. Taffeta wraps whispered on davenports.
A new planet bloomed above us; in its light
the stumps of cut pine gleamed like dinner plates.
The world was beginning all over again, fresh and hot;
we could have anything we wanted.”
—Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
—Swedish proverb, trans. by Verne Moberg.
