Leaning Water Tower

Famous quotes containing the words leaning, water and/or tower:

    The truth in a calm world,
    In which there is no other meaning, itself

    Is calm, itself is summer and night, itself
    Is the reader leaning late and reading there.

    Not all the water in the rough rude sea
    Can wash the balm off from an anointed king;
    The breath of worldly men cannot depose
    The deputy elected by the Lord.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If God made me a princess, why didn’t he take a little more time and make my hair so it wouldn’t snarl?
