Bathing/purpose

Famous quotes containing the words bathing and/or purpose:

    Underneath my stiffened gown
    Is the softness of a woman bathing in a marble basin,
    Amy Lowell (1874–1925)

    I don’t like to be idle; in fact, I often feel somewhat guilty unless there is some purpose to what I am doing. But spending a few hours—or a few days—in the woods, swamps or alongside a stream has never seemed to me a waste of time.... I derive special benefit from a period of solitude.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
