Dead Roots

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or roots:

    “From too much love of living,
    From hope and fear set free,
    We thank with brief thanksgiving
    Whatever gods may be
    That no life lives for ever;
    That dead men rise up never;
    That even the weariest river
    Winds somewhere safe to sea.”
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    “Sensuality often accelerates the growth of love so much that its roots remain weak and are easily pulled up.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
