Famous quotes containing the words creation of and/or mud:
“Creation of something out of nothing is the most primitive of human passions and the most optimistic.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“The swimming hole is still in use. It has the same mudbank. It is still impossible to dress without carrying mud home in one’s inner garments. As an engineer I could devise improvements for that swimming hole. But I doubt if the decrease in mother’s grief at the homecoming of muddy boys would compensate the inherent joys of getting muddy.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
