Prefer Green

Famous quotes containing the words prefer and/or green:

    It makes me hate accepting things that are probable when they are held up before me as infallibly true. I prefer these words which tone down and modify the hastiness of our propositions: “Perhaps, In some sort, Some, They say, I think,” and the like.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    It was a green world,
    Unchanging holly with the curled
    Points, cypress and conifers,
    All that through the winter bears
    Coarsened fertility against the frost.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
