Grass System

Famous quotes containing the words grass and/or system:

    But he had gone his way, the grass all mown,
    And I must be, as he had been,—alone,

    ‘As all must be,’ I said within my heart,
    ‘Whether they work together or apart.’
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Our system is the height of absurdity, since we treat the culprit both as a child, so as to have the right to punish him, and as an adult, in order to deny him consolation.
    Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)
