Famous quotes containing the words lake and/or bed:
“Lenin on a bench beside a lake disturbed
The swans. He was not the man for swans.”

“We are such docile creatures, normally, that it takes a virus to jolt us out of life’s routine. A couple of days in a fever bed are, in a sense, health-giving; the change in body temperature, the change in pulse rate, and the change of scene have a restorative effect on the system equal to the hell they raise.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
