Seed Plants

Famous quotes containing the words seed and/or plants:

    This is a pain I mostly hide,
    but ties of blood, or seed endure,
    and even now I feel inside
    the hunger for his outstretched hand,
    a man’s embrace to take me in,
    the need for just a word of praise.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    What I did not yet know so intensely was the hatred of the white American for the black, a hatred so deep that I wonder if every white man in this country, when he plants a tree, doesn’t see Negroes hanging from its branches.
    Jean Genet (1910–1986)
