Grown

Famous quotes containing the word grown:

    Having grown up in shade of Church and State
    Breathing the air of drawing-rooms and scent ...
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    I have lived in both worlds. And I think I prefer, to the indifferent, haphazard, money- mad hurry of the Outside World, that of my world; that sympathy and understanding grown shadowy since I have been away from it so long, still is more real to me than the world I am in now. Not only the spangles and the gay trappings made it colorful; there was an inner color that warmed the soul. And that I miss.
    Josephine Demott Robinson (1865–1948)

    When the peace is a trade route, figures
    For the budget, reduction of population,
    Life grown sullen and immense
    Lusts after immunity to pain.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
