Famous quotes containing the words death and/or tree:
“This death was his belief though death is a stone.
This man loved earth, not heaven, enough to die.”

“A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”
