Famous quotes containing the words water and/or rat:
“By polluting clear water with slime you will never find good drinking water.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
“Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of “the rat race” is not yet final.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
