Cyrano de Bergerac
French Playwright
For an Apple is in it self a little Universe; the Seed, hotter than the other parts thereof, is its Sun, which diffuses about it self that natural Heat which preserves its Globe: And in the Onion, the Germ is the little Sun of that little World, which vivifies and nourishes the vegetative Salt of that little mass.
Quote examples
Paul Gosar
American Politician

We shouldn't be wasting precious taxpayer money on a new, state-of-the-art vegetative roofing system.
