Fresh Water Traction

Famous quotes containing the words fresh and/or water:

“Of course you will pooh-pooh whatever’s fresh and new, and declare
it’s crude and mean;”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

“The point of the dragonfly’s terrible lip, the giant water bug, birdsong, or the beautiful dazzle and flash of sunlighted minnows, is not that it all fits together like clockwork--for it doesn’t ... but that it all flows so freely wild, like the creek, that it all surges in such a free, finged tangle. Freedom is the world’s water and weather, the world’s nourishment freely given, its soil and sap: and the creator loves pizzazz.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
