Famous quotes containing the words wells and/or culture:
“But where can we draw water,

When all the wells are parched away?

Theres nothing but our own red blood
Can make a right Rose Tree.”

“If youre anxious for to shine in the high esthetic line as a man
of culture rare,
You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant
them everywhere.
You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
complicated state of mind,
The meaning doesnt matter if its only idle chatter of a
transcendental kind.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
