Famous quotes containing the words baby and/or farmers:
“My faith
is a great weight
hung on a small wire,
as doth the spider
hang her baby on a thin web.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“What is commonly honored with the name of Friendship is no very profound or powerful instinct. Men do not, after all, love their Friends greatly. I do not often see the farmers made seers and wise to the verge of insanity by their Friendship for one another. They are not often transfigured and translated by love in each other’s presence. I do not observe them purified, refined, and elevated by the love of a man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
