Flood Plain

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or plain:

“Men hold themselves cheap and vile; and yet a man is a fagot of thunderbolts. All the elements pour through his system: he is the flood of the flood, and fire of the fire; he feels the antipodes and the pole, as drops of his blood: they are the extension of his personality.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Be plain in dress, and sober in your diet;
In short, my deary, kiss me and be quiet.”
—Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
