Flood Doors

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or doors:

    The great war that broke so suddenly upon the world two years ago, and which has swept up within its flame so great a part of the civilized world, has affected us very profoundly.... With its causes and its objects we are not concerned. The obscure fountains from which its stupendous flood has burst we are not interested to search for or explore.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    By all means use sometimes to be alone.
    Salute thyself: see what thy soul doth wear.
    Dare to look in thy chest; for ‘tis thine own:
    And tumble up and down what thou find’st there.
    Who cannot rest till he good fellows find,
    He breaks up house, turns out of doors his mind.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)
