Famous quotes containing the words stem and/or words:
“The lotus stem is as long as the depth of water,
So mens height is just as great as their inner strength.”
—Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
“Out of the slimy mud of words, out of the sleet and hail of verbal imprecisions,
Approximate thoughts and feelings, words that have taken the place of thoughts and feelings,
There springs the perfect order of speech, and the beauty of incantation.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
