Wing Roots

Famous quotes containing the words wing and/or roots:

“Love’s the only thing I’ve thought of or read about since I was knee-high. That’s what I always dreamed of, of meeting somebody and falling in love. And when that remarkable thing happened, I was going to recite poetry to her for hours about how her heart’s an angel’s wing and her hair the strings of a heavenly harp. Instead I got drunk and hollered at her and called her a harpy.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)

“The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.”
—Denis Waitly. Quoted in The Winning Family, ch. 25, by Louise Hart (1987)
