Simple Roots

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or roots:

    The ordinary literary man, even though he be an eminent historian, is ill-fitted to be a mentor in affairs of government. For ... things are for the most part very simple in books, and in practical life very complex.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    April is the cruellest month, breeding
    Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
    Memory and desire, stirring
    Dull roots with spring rain.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
