Drilled Wells

Famous quotes containing the words drilled and/or wells:

    Nothing could be so beautiful, so smart, so well drilled as the two armies. Trumpets, fifes, oboes, drums, cannons formed a harmony such as was never heard in hell.... Candide, trembling like a philosopher, hid himself as best he could during this heroic butchery.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    To take pride in a library kills it. Then, its motive power shifts over to the critical if admiring visitor, and apologies are necessary and acceptable and the fat is in the fire.
    —Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
