Famous quotes containing the words water and/or resistance:

    As must have rung the harvest-song of Linos
    Of bloody water in a heap of stones.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Growing older, I have lost the need to be political, which means, in this country, the need to be left. I am driven into grudging toleration of the Conservative Party because it is the party of non-politics, of resistance to politics.
    Kingsley Amis (1922–1995)
