Famous quotes containing the words dismal and/or swamp:
“To be shelterless and alone in the open country, hearing the wind moan and watching for day through the whole long weary night; to listen to the falling rain, and crouch for warmth beneath the lee of some old barn or rick, or in the hollow of a tree; are dismal things—but not so dismal as the wandering up and down where shelter is, and beds and sleepers are by thousands; a houseless rejected creature.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“This swamp is a monument to death. Snakes, alligators, quicksand, all bent on one thing: destruction.”
—Edward D. Wood, Jr. (1922–1978)
