Famous quotes containing the words tree and/or holes:
““Where the tree of knowledge stands, there is always paradise”: thus speak the oldest and the youngest serpents.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The danger lies in forgetting what we had. The flow between generations becomes a trickle, grandchildren tape-recording grandparents’ memories on special occasions perhaps—no casual storytelling jogged by daily life, there being no shared daily life what with migrations, exiles, diasporas, rendings, the search for work. Or there is a shared daily life riddled with holes of silence.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
