Famous quotes containing the word branches:

    Bare woods, whose branches strain,
    Deep caves and dreary main,—
    Wail, for the world’s wrong.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    A woman is a branchy tree
    And man a singing wind;
    And from her branches carelessly
    He takes what he can find.
    James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)
