Water Start

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or start:

    But the beggar gazes on calamity
    And thereafter he belongs to it, to bread
    Hard found, and water tasting of misery.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    When the first-rate author wants an exquisite heroine or a lovely morning, he finds that all the superlatives have been worn shoddy by his inferiors. It should be a rule that bad writers must start with plain heroines and ordinary mornings, and, if they are able, work up to something better.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
