Text Quotes
Why, man, if the river were dry, I am able to fill it with my tears. If the wind were down, I could drive the boat with my sighs  (The River Quotes) Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering  (The River Quotes) I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests  (The River Quotes) James had passed through the fire, but he had passed also through the river of years which washes out the fire; he had experienced the saddest experience of all - forgetfulness of what it was like to be in love  (The River Quotes) The river knows the way to the sea: Without a pilot it runs and falls, blessing all lands with it's charity  (The River Quotes) But think of how much worse it would be to sit here, not knowing. Until the dead choke the ratterlin and hedge walks across the dry bed of the river to batter down the door  (The River Quotes) So come to the pond, or the river of your imagination, or the harbor of your longing, and put your lips to the world. And live your life  (The River Quotes) Ricky had taught me a few cuss words.

The activist is the man who cleans up the river  (The River Quotes) While the river of life glides along smoothly, it remains the same river; only the landscape on either bank seems to change  (The River Quotes) We have an unknown distance yet to run, an unknown river to explore. What falls there are, we know not; what rocks beset the channel, we know not; what walls ride over the river, we know not. Ah, well! we may conjecture many things  (The River Quotes) The river flows at its own sweet will, but the flood is bound in the two banks. If it were not thus bound, its freedom would be wasted  (The River Quotes) If I were mayor, I’d invite everyone to have free boat trips on the river and free balloon rides over the city. I’d let the elderly in residential homes wander free  (The River Quotes) Do not let arguments of expediency persuade you. That is the slow road to oblivion. That is the tortured path to undoing step by step, bit by bit, as the river creates a canyon, the way of life that we love  (The River Quotes) In the rainy season, sometimes to get to the first lesson we had to run really quick, because we had to cross the river to school and we’d have to go up and down the bank to find a place to cross because there is no bridge  (The River Quotes) The importance of the river cannot be overstated in the history of the country, or the development of the nation  (The River Quotes) I identify with someone wanting something to work out, but not being able to get through the rocks to the river  (The River Quotes) I’m in this absolutely gorgeous manor house with acres of quite beautiful countryside. I’ve got trout in the river, an organic vegetable garden, I’ve got my work 40 yards from my home. I don’t mind being criticised, but where are they criticising from? Which hut are they criticising me from, exactly?  (The River Quotes) Sometimes we would be staked out in the middle of the river, several barges tied together. So we could party  (The River Quotes) The river is constantly turning and bending and you never know where it’s going to go and where you’ll wind up. Following the bend in the river and staying on your own path means that you are on the right track. Don’t let anyone deter you from that  (The River Quotes) Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters  (The River Quotes) I never set fire to a piano. I’d like to have got away with it, though. I pushed a couple of them in the river. They wasn’t any good  (The River Quotes) Though man is the only beast that can write, he has small reason to be proud of it. When he utters something that is wise it is nothing that the river horse does not know, and most of his creations are the result of accident  (The River Quotes) The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example. It is faithful and tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified.

Without our awareness of another world out there, it would never occur to us to change  (The River Quotes) The breakdown of the black community, in order to maintain slavery, began with the breakdown of the black family. Men and women were not legally allowed to get married because you couldn’t have that kind of love. It might get in the way of the economics of slavery. Your children could be taken from you and literally sold down the river  (The River Quotes) ... and we are not alone in this slavery. there are millions of others throughout the world, of all colors and races and creeds. this we must remember. there are many of our people who hate the poor of the white race, and they hate us. the people in this town living by the river who work in the mills. people who are almost as much in need as we are ourselves. this hatred is a great evil, and no good can ever come from it... the injustice of need must bring us all together and not separate us. we must remember that we all make the things of this earth of value because of labor  (The River Quotes)
