Famous quotes containing the words yellow, river and/or guy:
“The yellow pool has overflowed high up on Clooth-na-Bare,
For the wet winds are blowing out of the clinging air;
Like heavy flooded waters our bodies and our blood;
But purer than a tall candle before the Holy Rood
Is Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)

—Henry Brooks Adams (18381918)
“All my brothers, my brothers-in-law, theyre always telling me what a good-hearted guy I am. You dont get to be good-hearted by accident. You get kicked around long enough, you get to be a real professor of pain.”
