Famous quotes containing the words wake and/or forest:

    “What so soon will wake and grow
    Utterly unlike the snow.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)
