Yellow River Guy

Famous quotes containing the words yellow, river and/or guy:

    It was a quiet Sunday morning, with more of the auroral rosy and white than of the yellow light in it, as if it dated from earlier than the fall of man, and still preserved a heathenish integrity.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    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)

    Maggio: Just hate to see a good guy get it in the gut.
    Corporal Buckley: You’d better get used to it, kid. You’ll probably see a lot of it before you die.
    Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)
