Flash Floods

Famous quotes containing the words flash and/or floods:

    The point of the dragonfly’s terrible lip, the giant water bug, birdsong, or the beautiful dazzle and flash of sunlighted minnows, is not that it all fits together like clockwork--for it doesn’t ... but that it all flows so freely wild, like the creek, that it all surges in such a free, finged tangle. Freedom is the world’s water and weather, the world’s nourishment freely given, its soil and sap: and the creator loves pizzazz.
    Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

    Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills be joyful together.
    Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth; with
    righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalm XCVIII (l. XCVIII, 8–9)
