Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or fall:
“when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.”
—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)
