Flood Plain

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or plain:

    “There are flood and drouth
    Over the eyes and in the mouth,
    Dead water and dead sand
    Contending for the upper hand.
    The parched eviscerate soil
    Gapes at the vanity of toil,
    Laughs without mirth.
    This is the death of the earth.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Many a promising career has been wrecked by marrying the wrong sort of woman. The right sort of woman can distinguish between Creative Lassitude and plain shiftlessness.”
    —Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
