Nether Providence

Famous quotes containing the words nether and/or providence:

“An oblong puddle inset in the coarse asphalt; like a fancy footprint filled to the brim with quicksilver; like a spatulate hole through which you can see the nether sky. Surrounded, I note, by a diffuse tentacled black dampness where some dull dun dead leaves have stuck. Drowned, I should say, before the puddle had shrunk to its present size.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“I go the way that Providence dictates with the assurance of a sleepwalker.”
—Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)
