Famous quotes containing the words water and/or rat:
“Iron which is not whetted will grow rusty; water which does not flow will become stagnant.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of “the rat race” is not yet final.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
