Singing Grass

Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or grass:

    Why, he was met even now
    As mad as the vexed sea, singing aloud,
    Crowned with rank fumiter and furrow-weeds,
    With hardocks, hemlock, nettles, cuckoo-flowers,
    Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow
    In our sustaining corn.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Believing: it means believing in our own lies. And I can say that I am grateful that I got this lesson very early.
    —Günther Grass (b. 1927)
