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.)

“Only the really plain people know about love—the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they very soon exhaust their talents.”
—Katharine Hepburn (b. 1909)
