Famous quotes containing the words withered and/or tree:
“I know not what the younger dreams
Some vague Utopiaand she seems,
When withered old and skeleton-gaunt,
An image of such politics.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“A tree is beautiful, but whats more, it has a right to life; like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees. Forests create climate, climate influences peoples character, and so on and so forth. There can be neither civilization nor happiness if forests crash down under the axe, if the climate is harsh and severe, if people are also harsh and severe.... What a terrible future!”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (18601904)
