Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or roots:
“Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive,
Half wishing they were dead to save the shame.
The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow;
They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats,
And flare up bodily, wings and all. What then?
Who’s sorry for a gnat ... or girl?”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
“He who sins easily, sins less. The very power
Renders less vigorous the roots of evil.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
