Famous quotes containing the word grown:
“Spring, of all seasons most gratuitous,
Is fold of untaught flower, is race of water,
Is earths most multiple, excited daughter;
And those she has least use for see her best,
Their paths grown craven and circuitous,
Their visions mountain-clear, their needs immodest.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
“Boys are capital fellows in their own way, among their mates; but they are unwholesome companions for grown people.”
—Charles Lamb (17751834)
“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 (18651948)
