Dead Roots

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or roots:

    I have put a padlock
    on you, Mother, dear dead human,
    so that your great bells,
    those dear white ponies,
    can go galloping, galloping,
    wherever you are.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Einstein is not ... merely an artist in his moments of leisure and play, as a great statesman may play golf or a great soldier grow orchids. He retains the same attitude in the whole of his work. He traces science to its roots in emotion, which is exactly where art is also rooted.
    Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)
