“Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present.

Walter Benjamin
“And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.”

Lee Marks
“I'd like to see a little more, ... We just haven't sprung him yet, but I think he's doing OK.”
Bill Parcells
“And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.”
“And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: / But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.”
