Hot Deserts

Famous quotes containing the words hot and/or deserts:

    We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it—and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again—and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    In the deserts of the heart
    Let the healing fountain start,
    In the prison of his days
    Teach the free man how to praise.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
