Famous quotes containing the word water:

    “I think of the nestling fallen into the deep grass,
    The turtle gasping in the dusty rubble of the highway,
    The paralytic stunned in the tub, and the water rising,—
    All things innocent, hapless, forsaken.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    “You cannot go into the same water twice.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
