Flood Lock

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or lock:

“Men hold themselves cheap and vile; and yet a man is a fagot of thunderbolts. All the elements pour through his system: he is the flood of the flood, and fire of the fire; he feels the antipodes and the pole, as drops of his blood: they are the extension of his personality.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Don’t lock me in wedlock, I want
marriage, an
encounter....”
