Crusted Mud

Famous quotes containing the words crusted and/or mud:

“One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Earthly minds, like mud walls, resist the strongest batteries: and though, perhaps, sometimes the force of a clear argument may make some impression, yet they nevertheless stand firm, and keep out the enemy, truth, that would captivate or disturb them. Tell a man passionately in love, that he is jilted; bring a score of witnesses of the falsehood of his mistress, it is ten to one but three kind words of hers shall invalidate all their testimonies.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
