“. . . judiciously show a cat milk, if you wish her to thirst for it. Judiciously show a dog his natural prey, if you wish him to bring it down one day.”
Charles Dickens
“Death eats up all things, both the young lamb and old sheep; and I have heard our parson say, death values a prince no more than a clown; all’s fish that comes to his net; he throws at all, and sweeps stakes; he’s no mower that takes a nap at noon-day, but drives on, fair weather or foul, and cuts down the green grass as well as the ripe corn: he’s neither squeamish nor queesy-stomach’d, for he swallows without chewing, and crams down all things into his ungracious maw; and tho’ you can see no belly he has, he has a confounded dropsy, and thirsts after men’s lives, which he guggles down like mother’s milk.”
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
“Kissing is like drinking salted water: you drink and your thirst increases”
Chinese Proverbs
“He that has satisfied his thirst turns his back on the well.”
Baltasar Gracian
“Revenge has no more quenching effect on emotions than salt water has on thirst.”
Walter Weckler
“You should not see the desert simply as some faraway place of little rain. There are many forms of thirst.”
William Langewiesche
