Famous quotes containing the words green and/or left:

    “The first green night of their dreaming, asleep beneath the Tree,/God said, “Let meanings move,” and there was poetry.”
    —Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    “Separation anxiety is normal part of development, but individual reactions are partly explained by experience, that is, by how frequently children have been left in the care of others.... A mother who is never apart from her young child may be saying to him or her subliminally: “You are only safe when I’m with you.””
    —Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
