Grown

Famous quotes containing the word grown:

    Those friends have left.
    Only stumps remain
    in the thickets
    and we’ve grown old, besides.
    Love’s been cut off
    at the roots.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    A man is never completely alone in this world. At the worst, he has the company of a boy, a youth, and by and by a grown man—the one he used to be.
    Cesare Pavese (1908–1950)

    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)
