Famous quotes containing the words california and/or water:

    I can’t earn my own living. I could never make anything turn into money. It’s like making fires. A careful assortment of paper, shavings, faggots and kindling nicely tipped with pitch will never light for me. I have never been present when a cigarette butt, extinct, thrown into a damp and isolated spot, started a conflagration in the California woods.
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

    Reasoning with a drunkard is like
    Going under water with a torch to seek for a drowning man.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
