Plain Leaf

Famous quotes containing the words plain and/or leaf:

    Give me a mystery—just a plain and simple one—a mystery which is diffidence and silence, a slim little, barefoot mystery: give me a mystery—just one!
    Yevgeny Yevtushenko (b. 1933)

    Thus it seemed that this one hillside illustrated the principle of all the operations of Nature. The Maker of this earth but patented a leaf. What Champollion will decipher this hieroglyphic for us, that we may turn over a new leaf at last?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
