Famous quotes containing the words fire, water and/or burn:
“In England if something goes wrong—say, if one finds a skunk in the garden—he writes to the family solicitor, who proceeds to take the proper measures; whereas in America, you telephone the fire department. Each satisfies a characteristic need; in the English, love of order and legalistic procedure; and here in America, what you like is something vivid, and red, and swift.”
—Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)
“You cannot go into the same water twice.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“Taking into consideration all your loveliness
why can’t you burn your bootsoles and your
draft card? How can you sit there saying yes
to war?”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
