Adult Life

Famous quotes containing the words adult and/or life:

“The infant runs toward it with its eyes closed, the adult is stationary, the old man approaches it with his back turned.”

“The earth is not a mere fragment of dead history, stratum upon stratum like the leaves of a book, to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, but living poetry like the leaves of a tree, which precede flowers and fruit,—not a fossil earth, but a living earth; compared with whose great central life all animal and vegetable life is merely parasitic.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
