Brackish

Famous quotes containing the word brackish:

    Every reader of the Dreiser novels must cherish astounding specimens—of awkward, platitudinous marginalia, of whole scenes spoiled by bad writing, of phrases as brackish as so many lumps of sodium hyposulphite.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    The ignorant are like useless, brackish soil;
    They exist and that is all.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
