Famous quotes containing the words branches and/or running:
“Bare woods, whose branches strain,
Deep caves and dreary main,—
Wail, for the world’s wrong.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“Animals used to provide a lowlife way to kill and get away with it, as they do still, but, more intriguingly, for some people they are an aperture through which wounds drain. The scapegoat of olden times, driven off for the bystanders’ sins, has become a tender thing, a running injury. There, running away ... is me: hurt it and you are hurting me.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
