Famous quotes containing the words umbrella and/or tree:

    “There are certain things—as, a spider, a ghost,
    The income-tax, gout, an umbrella for three—
    That I hate, but the thing that I hate the most
    Is a thing they call the Sea.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “Everyone who enjoys supposes that the tree was concerned with the fruit, but it was really concerned with the seed.—In this lies the difference between all those who create and those who enjoy.”
