Dutch Bank

Famous quotes containing the words dutch and/or bank:

    The French courage proceeds from vanity—the German from phlegm—the Turkish from fanaticism & opium—the Spanish from pride—the English from coolness—the Dutch from obstinacy—the Russian from insensibility—but the Italian from anger.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    It was like passing a boundary to dive
    Into the sun-filled water, brightly leafed
    And limbed and lighted out from bank to bank.
    That’s how the stars shine during the day.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
