Native Species

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or species:

“But, depend upon it, you will love your native hills the better for being separated from them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“There are acacias, a graceful species amusingly devitalized by sentimentality, this kind drooping its leaves with the grace of a young widow bowed in controllable grief, this one obscuring them with a smooth silver as of placid tears. They please, like the minor French novelists of the eighteenth century, by suggesting a universe in which nothing cuts deep.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
