Grown

Famous quotes containing the word grown:

    I saw
    without words within me, saw

    had grown bigger and knew
    how to look without
    being told what it was they saw.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    I am grown old, and have possibly lost a great deal of that fire, which formerly made me love fire in others at any rate, and however attended with smoke: but now I must have all sense, and cannot, for the sake of five righteous lines, forgive a thousand absurd ones.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    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.
