Water Caterpillar

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or caterpillar:

    A single monk carries his own bucket of water; two monks carry their bucket of water together; but when there are three monks, there is no water at all.
    Chinese proverb.

    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)
