Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or roots:
“Look. And the dancers move
On the departed, snow bushed green, wanton in moon light
As a dust of pigeons. Exulting, the grave hooved
Horses, centaur dead, turn and tread the drenched white
Paddocks in the farms of birds. The dead oak walks for love.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.”
—Denis Waitly. Quoted in The Winning Family, ch. 25, by Louise Hart (1987)
