Weeping Water

Famous quotes containing the words weeping and/or water:

    Man’s feeble race what ills await!
    Labour, and Penury, the racks of Pain,
    Disease, and Sorrow’s weeping train,
    And Death, sad refuge from the storms of Fate!
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    It is with artworks as it is with wine: it is much better when we do not need either one, when we stick with water, and when out of our own inner fire, the inner sweetness of our own soul, we turn the water over and over again into wine ourselves.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
