Famous quotes containing the word water:

    The tower nearest the water gets the moonlight first.
    Chinese proverb.

    The clock runs down
    timeless and still.
    The days and nights turn hours to years
    and water in a gutter marks the circle of another world
    hating, resentful, and afraid
    stagnant, and green, and full of slimy things.
    Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
