Famous quotes containing the words clean, water and/or act:

    By the roadside a hideous carrion, quivering
    On a clean bed of pebbly clay,
    Her legs flexed in the air like a courtesan,
    Burning and sweating venomously,
    Calmly exposed its belly, ironic and wan,
    Clamorous with foul ecstasy.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Camels are snobbish
    and sheep, unintelligent; water buffaloes, neurasthenic—
    even murderous.
    Reindeer seem over-serious.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    Communism is a proposition to structure the world more reasonably, a proposition for changing the world. As such, we have to analyze it and, if we deem it reasonable, act upon it.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
