Leaning Water Tower

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

    And then I ran to get away,

    And leaning out to look at me.

    Iron which is not whetted will grow rusty; water which does not flow will become stagnant.
    Chinese proverb.

    What did it matter where you lay once you were dead? In a dirty sump or in a marble tower on top of a high hill? You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that. Oil and water were the same as wind and air to you.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
