Mould Growth

Famous quotes containing the words mould and/or growth:

“I—this thought which is called I—is the mould into which the world is poured like melted wax.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The windy springs and the blazing summers, one after another, had enriched and mellowed that flat tableland; all the human effort that had gone into it was coming back in long, sweeping lines of fertility. The changes seemed beautiful and harmonious to me; it was like watching the growth of a great man or of a great idea. I recognized every tree and sandbank and rugged draw. I found that I remembered the conformation of the land as one remembers the modelling of human faces.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
