Tree Fall

Famous quotes containing the words tree and/or fall:

    As a tree my sin stands
    To darken all lands;
    Death is the fruit it bore.
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    The tension to mother the “right” way can leave a peculiar silence within mother daughter relationships—the silence of a mother’s own truth and experience. Within this silence, a daughter’s authentic voice can also fall silent. This is the silence of perfection. This silence of perfection prevents mothers from listening and learning from their daughters.
    Elizabeth Debold (20th century)
