Famous quotes containing the words water and/or quality:
“Lord, crack their teeth! Lord, crush these lions’ jaws!
So let them sink as water in the sand;
When deadly bow their aiming fury draws,
Shiver the shaft ere past the shooter’s hand.
So make them melt as the dishoused snail”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm LVIII (Paraphrased by the Countess of Pembroke)
“The quality of this novel is the way the plot is treated and not the plot itself.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
