Famous quotes containing the words vegetable and/or matter:
“All our progress is an unfolding, like the vegetable bud. You first have an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge, as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason. It is vain to hurry it. By trusting it to the end, it shall ripen into truth, and you shall know why you believe.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Everything that is necessary is also easy. You just have to accept it. And the most necessary, the most natural matter on this planet is death.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
