Famous quotes containing the words tree and/or nuts:
“It never had been inside the room,
And only one of the two
Was afraid in an oft-repeated dream
Of what the tree might do.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“It is true, there are the innocent pleasures of country life, and it is sometimes pleasant to make the earth yield her increase, and gather the fruits in their season; but the heroic spirit will not fail to dream of remoter retirements and more rugged paths. It will have its garden-plots and its parterres elsewhere than on the earth, and gather nuts and berries by the way for its subsistence, or orchard fruits with such heedlessness as berries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
