"What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet." - from Inversnaid by Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889)
"High and fine literature is wine, and mine is only water; but everybody likes water." - Mark Twain
"When you sit in silence long enough, you learn that silence has a motion. It glides over you without shape or form, exactly like water. Its color is silver. And silence has a sound you hear only after hours of wading inside it. The sound is soft, like flute notes rising up, like the words of glass speaking. Then there comes a point when you must shatter the blindness of its words, the blindness of its light." - Anne Spollen, The Shape of Water
"There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast." - Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
