Famous quotes containing the words red and/or coat:

    “Red river, red river,
    Slow flow heat is silence
    No will is still as a river
    Still.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “After us they’ll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they’ll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will still be sighing, “Oh! Life is so hard!” and will still, like now, be afraid of death and not want to die.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
