Water Cum Amusement

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or amusement:

    Instead of water we got here a draught of beer,... a lumberer’s drink, which would acclimate and naturalize a man at once,—which would make him see green, and, if he slept, dream that he heard the wind sough among the pines.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    If you say to me: “Master, it would seem that you weren’t too terribly wise to have written these bits of nonsense and pleasant mockeries,” I respond that you are hardly more so in finding amusement in reading them.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)
