Famous quotes containing the words rough and/or turning:
“We approached the Indian Island through the narrow strait called “Cook.” He said, “I ‘xpect we take in some water there, river so high,—never see it so high at this season. Very rough water there, but short; swamp steamboat once. Don’t paddle till I tell you, then you paddle right along.” It was a very short rapid. When we were in the midst of it he shouted “paddle,” and we shot through without taking in a drop.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is something so settled and stodgy about turning a great romance into next of kin on an emergency room form, and something so soothing and special, too.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
