Famous quotes containing the words lake and/or nation:
“Will lovely, lively, virginal today
Shatter for us with a wings drunken blow
This hard, forgotten lake haunted in snow
By the sheer ice of flocks not flown away!”

“The so-called science of poll-taking is not a science at all but mere necromancy. People are unpredictable by nature, and although you can take a nations pulse, you cant be sure that the nation hasnt just run up a flight of stairs.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
