Muddy

Famous quotes containing the word muddy:

    Science, which cuts its way through the muddy pond of daily life without mingling with it, casts its wealth to right and left, but the puny boatmen do not know how to fish for it.

    Marriage may often be a stormy lake, but celibacy is almost always a muddy horsepond.
    Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)

    The brown waves of fog toss up to me
    Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
    And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
    An aimless smile that hovers in the air
    And vanishes along the level of the roofs.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
