Famous quotes containing the words violet and/or carson:

    “I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
    Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
    Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine,
    With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine:
    There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
    Lulled in these flowers with dances and delight.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The “control of nature” is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born of the Neanderthal age of biology and the convenience of man.”
    —Rachel Carson (1907–1964)
