Wet

Famous quotes containing the word wet:

    The property of rain is to wet and fire to burn.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What would the world be, once bereft
    Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
    O let them be left, wildness and wet;
    Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    I have a vocabulary all my own. I “pass the time” when it is wet and disagreeable. When it is fine I do not wish to pass it; I ruminate it and hold on to it. We should hasten over the bad, and settle upon the good.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
