Grown

Famous quotes containing the word grown:

    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)

    Their love was never drowned in care
    Of this or that thing, nor grew cold
    Because their bodies had grown old.
    Being forbid to marry on earth,
    They blossomed to immortal mirth.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    What a blunt fellow is this grown to be!
    He was quick mettle when he went to school.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
