Grown

Famous quotes containing the word grown:

    Parents offer an open womb. More than anyone else in your life, mothers, and sometimes fathers, can kiss it, and make it well when their grown children need to regress and repair. More than anyone else in your life, mothers, and sometimes fathers, can catch you when you start to fall. When you are in disgrace, defeat, and despair, home may be the safest place to hide.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)

    I saw
    without words within me, saw
    as if my eyes
    had grown bigger and knew
    how to look without
    being told what it was they saw.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The plays and sports of children are as salutary to them as labor and work are to grown persons.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
