Famous quotes containing the word surface:

    “In the cold of Europe, under prudish northern fogs, except when slaughter is afoot, you only glimpse the crawling cruelty of your fellow men. But their rottenness rises to the surface as soon as they are tickled by the hideous fevers of the tropics.”
    —Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)

    “It was a pretty game, played on the smooth surface of the pond, a man against a loon.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
