Wet Rice Cultivation

Famous quotes containing the words wet, rice and/or cultivation:

    A crazy man that found a cup,
    When all but dead of thirst,
    Hardly dared to wet his mouth

    That another mouthful
    And his beating heart would burst.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    ... there has been a very special man in my life for the past year. All I’ll say about him is that he’s kind, warm, mature, someone I can trust—and he’s not a politician.
    —Donna Rice (b. c. 1962)

    We Russians have assigned ourselves no other task in life but the cultivation of our own personalities, and when we’re barely past childhood, we set to work to cultivate them, those unfortunate personalities.
