Famous quotes containing the words elm, tree and/or road:
“I want to celebrate these elms which have been spared by the plague, these survivors of a once flourishing tribe commemorated by all the Elm Streets in America. But to celebrate them is to be silent about the people who sit and sleep underneath them, the homeless poor who are hauled away by the city like trash, except it has no place to dump them. To speak of one thing is to suppress another.”
—Lisel Mueller (b. 1924)
“Cynicism is the humour of hatred.”
—Herbert Beerbohm, Sir Tree (1853–1917)
“Wherever there is a channel for water, there is a road for the canoe.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
