Famous quotes containing the words grove and/or village:
“He was burned, so he ran into the bamboo grove, but the grove caught fire.”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
