Famous quotes containing the word branches:

    What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
    Out of this stony rubbish?
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Bare woods, whose branches strain,
    Deep caves and dreary main,—
    Wail, for the world’s wrong.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
