Famous quotes containing the words growing and/or crop:
“The first indication of a young person’s growing smarter is that he no longer understands the things which he used to consider quite intelligible and self-evident.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“And, by the way, who estimates the value of the crop which nature yields in the still wilder fields unimproved by man? The crop of English hay is carefully weighed, the moisture calculated, the silicates and the potash; but in all dells and pond-holes in the woods and pastures and swamps grows a rich and various crop only unreaped by man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
