He stares at me—taking me in—with his lips slightly parted. I struggle to hold myself in place as we gawk at each other. I want so desperately to run, but something is holding me back, keeping me in place.
Ashley Earley
Water shines under the sun. But the sun dries it. (Eau brille sous soleil - Qui pourtant l’assèche.)
Charles de Leusse
No one can know the infinite importance of a tiny drop of water better than a thirsty bird or a little ant or a man of desert!
Mehmet Murat ildan

In the river swam the gleaming fish, which were meant for water, just as humankind is meant for love.
David Paul Kirkpatrick
If truth prevails, the contributions of a courageous physician and a brilliant engineer to the conquest of waterborne disease will still be remembered in another hundred years.
Michael J. McGuire
There can be no doubt that the development of a practical method of water disinfection during the last two years marks an epoch in the art of water purification.
Charles-Edward A. Winslow
I’m driving,” Louis-Cesare said, sliding into the low seat as easily as if he’d done it a hundred times. “You’re drunk.”I wished. “I had all of two beers, mostly for the water content.”“If you needed water, why didn’t you drink water?”“I don’t like water.
Karen Chance
Once you want something, everything changes. Now I want everything. I feel it so much that I am water, a river of want,pooled in the shape of a girl.
Ally Condie
There is such solace in the mere sight of water. It clothes us delicately in its blowing salt and scent, gossamer items that medicate the poor soul
Sebastian Barry
Water is nothing if not ingemination, an encore to the tenacity of life.
Terry Tempest Williams
When you drop a pebble into a pond, ripples spread out, changing all the water in the pool. The ripples hit the shore and rebound, bumping into one another, breaking each other apart. In some small way, the pond is never the same again.
Neal Shusterman
Please stop shaking your rain water in my direction. What next? Are you going to come over here, cock your leg and urinate upon my person?
Stephen J. Day
She poured us some more Scotch. It didn't seem to affect her any more than water affects Boulder Dam.
Raymond Chandler
The return of the rain, beating out time on London's rooftops and pavements. Early morning Zombies sheltering beneath copies of the Standard whilst others ran screaming for cover in doorways because water from the heavens is holy and melts the undead.
Stephen J. Day
I find my data first in myself, not first in the poets. For if I did not find it in myself, I would not be able to find it in the poets.
Peter Kreeft
When skies above were not yet namedNor earth below pronounced by nameThere was water...
Carol K. Mack
Falling seemed to take forever as the water slowly rose to meet me. The dome of city hall continued to gleam in the distance, with its golden reflection extending to the river water. Strange that I hadn't seen that before.
Patricia Mason
Pour, varlet, pour the waterThe water steaming hot!A spoonful for each man of usAnother for the pot!
Thomas Babington Macaulay
Black met black on the distant horizon, the stars alone distinguishing sky from lake. On the sand below, Silver Beach glittered at the water's edge while on the north side of the river the lighthouse's beacon signaled safe harbor.
Erin Farwell
When I am with you, even the water makes me drank
M.F. Moonzajer
That's not water. That's socialism juice. We should bomb Lake Erie.
Bill Maher
Water flows, but never changes. It's always H2O.
Ljupka Cvetanova
When the water is very calm and very beautiful, it won’t take a long time that a thick head will throw a stone in it!
Mehmet Murat ildan
There was water and waves all around. They ran towered the shore, and made way for the boat as it ran through. At the back of the boat, water squirted out and some of it was white.It was magical.
Jesse Haubert
Feeling a little grumpy, Melvin decided he would no longer take a bath ever again. Therefore, with that in mind, he marched off into the woods.
Cindy Fisk
Water will, increasingly, be detained, stored and then recycled or infiltrated in gardens.
Tom Turner
Kevin watched the water move down the creek. He didn’t know where it was going but he assumed that it was to a lake. It seemed to be in a hurry, so he hoped that it would get there soon.
Jesse Haubert
It's only water," she said."Tell that to a drowning man," Giddon said.
Kristin Cashore
I am in love, and the river is beginning to ice over. I’d better go drown myself before I freeze to death.
Dark Jar Tin Zoo
People ask: Why should I care about the ocean? Because the ocean is the cornerstone of earth's life support system, it shapes climate and weather. It holds most of life on earth. 97% of earth's water is there. It's the blue heart of the planet — we should take care of our heart. It's what makes life possible for us. We still have a really good chance to make things better than they are. They won't get better unless we take the action and inspire others to do the same thing. No one is without power. Everybody has the capacity to do something.
Sylvia A. Earle
For the moment I can think of nothing— except that I am a sentient being stabbed by the miracle of these waters that reflect a forgotten world.
Henry Miller
At dawn the waves looked like mountain ranges tipped with gold as sunbeams slanted low under burgundy clouds.
David Mitchell
I never feel so much myself as when I'm in a hot bath.I lay in that tub on the seventeenth floor of this hotel for-women-only, high up over the jazz and push of New York, for near onto an hour, and I felt myself growing pure again. I don't believe in baptism or the waters of Jordan or anything like that, but I guess I feel about a hot bath the way those religious people feel about holy water.
Sylvia Plath
Both the teardrop and the tempest are made of water, making it the most yielding and most destructive force on Earth.
Fiona Paul
It is impossible to express the experiences you have below the surface with words, when water gently caresses your face and body, the pulse decreases and your brain relaxes. You are immediately cut off from the stress and hustle of everyday life when you are below the surface – there are no noisy telephones or SMS messages, no inboxes full of mail, no electrical bills, or other trivialities of everyday life taking up time and energy. There is nothing connecting you to the surface but the same withheld breath that connects you to life. There is only you and a growing pressure on your chest that feels like a loving hug and the vibrations from the deep quiet tone of the sea. It is quite possible that this deep quiet tone is none other than the mantra Om, the sound of the universe, trickling life into every cell of your body.
Stig Åvall Severinsen
Water - a thoroughly underrated drink.
Wayne Gerard Trotman
A mile below the lowest cloud, rock breaches water and the sea begins.It has been given many names. Each inlet and bay and stream has been classified as if it were discrete. But it is one thing, where borders are absurd. It fills the space between stones and sand, curling around coastlines and filling trenches between the continents.
China Miéville
Eventually man, too, found his way back to the sea. Standing on its shores, he must have looked out upon it with wonder and curiosity, compounded with an unconscious recognition of his lineage. He could not physically re-enter the ocean as the seals and whales had done. But over the centuries, with all the skill and ingenuity and reasoning powers of his mind, he has sought to explore and investigate even its most remote parts, so that he might re-enter it mentally and imaginatively.
Rachel Carson
In Canada, when we speak of water, we're speaking of ourselves. Canadians are known to be unextravagant, and one explanation of this might be that we know that wasted water means a diminished collective soul; polluted waters mean a sickened soul. Water is the basis of our self-identity, and when we dream of canoes and thunderstorms and streams and even snowballs, we're dreaming about our innermost selves.
Douglas Coupland
Appreciate water before you are thirsty! Appreciate all the good things before you need them!
Mehmet Murat ildan
Who says there's just one safe way to walk, one road properly lit, and the rest - all slippery water, unmarked?
Betsy Sholl
For them, it was just an ordinary miracle.
Robert Harris
If you want water, do not go to desert...
Alen Sargsyan
fingers of wind combed the lake into ridges—icy palm prints glistened wherever it rested
John Geddes
Even if you enter the dirty water, stay neat like a white swan!
Mehmet Murat ildan
the California supreme court, following the English common-law, decided that the owner of land bordering a watercourse was entitled only to the usufruct of the water; that if he used it he must return it to its original course unimpaired in quality and undiminished in volume.
Jerome Hart
James hoped the newsletter would garner support from Bahana, or white people, to stop a town well that the Bureau of Indian Affairs wanted to dig and a tower it wanted to erect to store the water. The Hotevilla elders were willing to lay down their lives in this battle. They’d done it before, preventing the BIA from bringing electricity to the village by lying down in front of bulldozers. If that well went in, James explained, people would waste water. Their spring would dry out- an unthinkable tragedy, as it would make it impossible for them to live there any longer. Could two cultures be any different? I now wondered. We were taking federal money to mine water and would do so until the unlikely day that same government made us stop. The Hopi had been trying to prevent the government from giving them a well in the first place.
Julene Bair
The next time you think you're perfect, try walking on water.
Ziad K. Abdelnour
There’s always that first step in skating, from dry ground to slick ice, when it just seems impossible. Impossible that two thin blades of metal will support you, impossible that because its molecules have begun to dance a little slower water will hold you up.
Carol Goodman
Offer me water in your palms and I will drink everlastingly.
M.F. Moonzajer
You have to dig a well before you can draw water from it.
Richie Norton
Walking on water is easy if you know where to step.
Peter Tieryas
This is a silly place. Half the world has no clean water. The other half has so much that they pooh in it.
Larry Bird
Here for example the beautiful silver mirror of a river swells, a boy falls in, the water ripples sweetly around his locks, he sinks - and after a short while the silver mirror swells as before.
Adalbert Stifter
The buckets emptied quickly, and men from different squads took turns bringing water from the gully that lay towards the city, where, in the feeble shade of emaciated mulberries, a muddy stream lived out its last days in the diabolical heat.
Mikhail Bulgakov
Meltwater (from the book Blue Bridge)Up here. A faceLoses its linesI look to seeThe colour of your eyes …They have turnedTo water.I lean forwardTo catchThe scent of your hair –All I smell is heather.I touch your handAnd all I feel is earth and stones.There is nothing leftBut the hillside’s breastYour flesh and bonesHave vanished.
Jay Woodman
With the smell so close, the ocean came into view only a few moments later, sometimes peeking between old brick buildings with bright blue eyes, other times peering for a lingering moment like long lost relatives seeing one another for the first time.
Shannon A. Thompson
The first time Akash took Supriya to view the pool, I rose up in strident protest, and he was astonished by the way she turned her face away, her eyes filled with terror. “I am petrified of water!” she whispered, as he tried to cajole her to at least put her feet in.
Deepti Menon
The world will not spin slower or faster when we have passed through the gate together. What remains is light on water, or a shifting shadow.
Emmi Itäranta
