Null Leaves

Famous quotes containing the words null and/or leaves:

“A strong person makes the law and custom null before his own will.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“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)
