Thirsty

Famous quotes containing the word thirsty:

    When you’re thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean—that’s faith; when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two—that’s science.

    The thirsty earth soaks up the rain,
    And drinks, and gapes for drink again.
    The plants suck in the earth, and are
    With constant drinking fresh and fair.
    Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)

    Reality has become so absorbing that the streets, the television, and the journals have confiscated the public interest and people are no longer thirsty for culture on a higher level.
    Andre Plesu (b. 1948)
