Water Caterpillar

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or caterpillar:

    If you keep your feathers well oiled the water of criticism will run off as from a duck’s back.
    Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)

    That author who draws a character, even though to common view incongruous in its parts, as the flying-squirrel, and, at different periods, as much at variance with itself as the caterpillar is with the butterfly into which it changes, may yet, in so doing, be not false but faithful to facts.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
