Liquid Displaced

Famous quotes containing the words liquid and/or displaced:

“What slender Youth bedew’d with liquid odours
Courts thee on Roses in some pleasant Cave,”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8)

“Our ancestors were savages. The story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf is not a meaningless fable. The founders of every state which has risen to eminence have drawn their nourishment and vigor from a similar wild source. It was because the children of the Empire were not suckled by the wolf that they were conquered and displaced by the children of the northern forests who were.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
