Famous quotes containing the words water and/or depth:
“But the beggar gazes on calamity
And thereafter he belongs to it, to bread
Hard found, and water tasting of misery.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Manners are the happy way of doing things; each once a stroke of genius or of love—now repeated and hardened into usage. They form at last a rich varnish, with which the routine of life is washed, and its details adorned. If they are superficial, so are the dewdrops which give such depth to the morning meadows.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
