River Bandits

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or bandits:

“I counted two and seventy stenches,
All well defined and several stinks!
Ye Nymphs that reign o’er sewers and sinks,
The river Rhine, it is well known,
Doth wash your city of Cologne;
But tell me, Nymphs! what power divine
Shall henceforth wash the river Rhine?”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

“The world perishes not from bandits and fires, but from hatred, hostility, and all these petty squabbles.”
