Plain Leaf

Famous quotes containing the words plain and/or leaf:

    The Crucifixion and other historical precedents notwithstanding, many of us still believe that outstanding goodness is a kind of armor, that virtue, seen plain and bare, gives pause to criminality. But perhaps it is the other way around.
    Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    A leaf that is supposed to grow is full of wrinkles and creases before it develops; if one doesn’t have the patience and wants the leaf to be as smooth as a willow leaf from the start, then there is a problem.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
