Flood Plain

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or plain:

    Hearing the low sound
    of a cloud scattering rain
    at midnight
    and thinking for an eternity
    on his absent young wife,
    a traveller heaved a sigh
    and with a flood of tears
    howled the whole night long.
    Now, villagers won’t let him stay
    in their place anymore.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    If the Almighty had intended for you to be rich, he’d have taken care of that a long time ago. The idea of you being rich, that’s plain blasphemy.
    Robert Rossen (1908–1966)
