Famous quotes containing the words root and/or grafts:
“Not marble nor the gilded monuments
Of princes shall outlive this powerful rime;
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Than unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish time.
When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
And broils root out the work of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The most deadly fruit is borne by the hatred which one grafts on an extinguished friendship.”
—Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729–1881)
