Steel Plant

Famous quotes containing the words steel and/or plant:

    The colored people arrive, sit firmly down,
    Eat their Express Spaghetti, their T-bone steak,
    Handling their steel and crockery with no clatter,
    Laugh punily, rise, go firmly out of the door.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    I wish that friendship should have feet, as well as eyes and eloquence. It must plant itself on the ground, before it vaults over the moon. I wish it to be a little of a citizen, before it is quite a cherub.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
