Lake George is without comparison, the most beautiful water I ever saw formed by a contour of mountains into a basin... finely interspersed with islands, its water limpid as crystal, and the mountain sides covered with rich groves... down to the water-edge: here and there precipices of rock to checker the scene and save it from monotony.
Thomas Jefferson

Lake Wobegon, the little town that time forgot and the decades cannot improve.
Garrison Keillor
Image
Lake is jealous of mountain mountain is jealous of lake!
Mehmet Murat Ildan

I was alive when the Dead Sea was just a lake that was feeling a little poorly.
Cassandra Clare
Image
And a wheat thin the size of Lake Tahoe.
Aaron Sorkin

O for a summer noon, when light and breeze Sport on the grass, like ripples o'er a lake Alive with freshness! when the full round Sun, With the Creator's smile upon his face, Walks like a prince of glory through the path Of Heaven! - Thou vast, and ever-glorious sky, Mantling the earth with thy majestic robe.
Robert Montgomery

I fell in love with folk music at Surprise Lake Camp. It was the songs of Woody Guthrie and the Weavers.
Neil Diamond

If the bees which seek the liquid oozing from the head of a lust-intoxicated elephant are driven away by the flapping of his ears, then the elephant has lost only the ornament of his head. The bees are quite happy in the lotus filled lake.

I played with Joey Mullen back in Salt Lake City before he got called up to St. Louis. He was the first player ever to score 20 goals in the American League and 20 in the NHL. I've kept in contact with him and he's a great guy.

I asked my old man if I could go ice-skating on the lake. He told me, Wait til it gets warmer.

You know, you throw rocks in the lake and scientists will tell you you're raising the level of the lake, but all you get to see is the ripple.
Norman Lear
Image
Our whole past experience is continually in our consciousness, though most of it sunk to a great depth of dimness. I think of consciousness as a bottomless lake, whose waters seem transparent, yet into which we can clearly see but a little way.
Charles Sanders Peirce
Image
Unless Americans come to realize that they are not stronger in the world because they have the bomb but weaker because of their vulnerability to atomic attack, they are not likely to conduct their policy at Lake Success [the United Nations] or in their relations with Russia in a spirit that furthers the arrival at an understanding.
Albert Einstein

Still I sojourn here, alone and palely loitering, though the sedge is withered from the lake and no birds sing. For I sent the bath towel to the wash this morning, and omitted to put out another. I have no towel.
Rose Macaulay

Wordsworth went to the Lakes, but he was never a lake poet. He found in stones the sermons he had already hidden there.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I grew up in a small village close to a big lake. There are heavy winds there, and they always sound different. I like these sounds best.
Christian Fennesz
Image
Music is an ocean, but the repertory is hardly even a lake it is a pond.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Little stones that are pelted into the lake of consciousness should not throw the whole lake into commotion.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
I kind of lost my sense of organized religion and became more spiritual from the experience. I would walk in the woods and to the sand dunes and the lake every day. That spoke to me more than getting up at six and the morning and saying some prayers. That had nothing to do with religion to me.
Chuck Panozzo

I had kept opaque Down deeper than the canyons undersea The sullen spectrum of a buried lake Nobody saw not seen even by me.
Allen Tate

My Mom said she learned how to swim when someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. I said, 'Mom, they weren't trying to teach you how to swim.'
Paula Poundstone

Aquarium fishes even if they only imagine going to a lake, the windows of that aquarium will become thinner than before.
Mehmet Murat Ildan

No lake so still but it has its wave. No circle so perfect but that it has its blur. I would change things for you if I could As I can't you must take them as they are.
Confucius

I am writing a play which I probably will not finish until the end of November. I am writing it with considerable pleasure, though I sin frightfully against the conventions of the stage. It is a comedy with three female parts, six male, four acts, a landscape (view of the lake), lots of talk on literature, little action and tons of love.
Anton Chekhov
