Famous quotes containing the words poison and/or oak:

    “Men become accustomed to poison by degrees.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “Alas for America as I must so often say, the ungirt, the diffuse, the profuse, procumbent, one wide ground juniper, out of which no cedar, no oak will rear up a mast to the clouds! It all runs to leaves, to suckers, to tendrils, to miscellany. The air is loaded with poppy, with imbecility, with dispersion, & sloth.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
