The River Quotes

As the river surrenders itself to the ocean, what is inside me moves inside you Picture Quote #1

Let your love be like the misty rains, coming softly, but flooding the river Picture Quote #1

I've known rivers: Ancient, dusky rivers. My soul has grown deep like the rivers Picture Quote #1

First off I am 35 years old, I am divorced, and I live in a van down by the river Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I've known rivers: I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins. My soul has grown deep like the rivers Picture Quote #1

He who postpones the hour of living is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses Picture Quote #1

He had thrown himself away, he had lost interest in everything, and life, falling in with his feelings, had demanded nothing of him. He had lived as an outsider, an idler and onlooker, well liked in his young manhood, alone in his illness and advancing years. Seized with weariness, he sat down on the wall, and the river murmured darkly in his thoughts Picture Quote #1

The River... It’s my world, and I don’t want any other. What it hasn’t got is not worth having, and what it doesn’t know is not worth knowing. Lord! the times we’ve had together! Picture Quote #1

I’ve travelled all around the world to see the rivers and the mountains, and I’ve spent a lot of money. I have gone to great lengths, I have seen everything, but I forgot to see just outside my house a dewdrop on a little blade of grass, a dewdrop which reflects in its convexity the whole universe around you Picture Quote #1

If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move Picture Quote #1

Your heart is like a great river after a long spell of rain, spilling over its banks. All signposts that once stood on the ground are gone, inundated and carried away by that rush of water. And still the rain beats down on the surface of the river. Every time you see a flood like that on the news you tell yourself: That’s it. That’s my heart Picture Quote #1

Baby, I'm yours and I'll be yours until the stars fall from the sky, until the rivers all run dry. In other words, until I die Picture Quote #1

Between the banks of pleasure and pain flows the river of life. If you spend much time on either bank you will miss out on life Picture Quote #1

If you think you can grasp me, think again: my story flows in more than one direction, a delta springing from the river bed with its five fingers spread Picture Quote #1

There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in Picture Quote #1

It was the last time she’d see the river from that window. The last time of anything has the poignancy of death itself. This that I see now, she thought, to see no more this way. Oh, the last time how clearly you see everything; as though a magnifying light had been turned on it. And you grieve because you hadn’t held it tighter when you had it every day Picture Quote #1

The river knows the way to the sea: Without a pilot it runs and falls, blessing all lands with it's charity Picture Quote #1

So tomorrow we disappear into the unknown. This account I am transmitting down the river by canoe, and it may be our last word to those who are interested in our fate Picture Quote #1

Grief held back from the lips wears at the heart; the drop that refused to join the river dried up in the dust Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Around me the moonlight glittered on the pebbles of the llano, and in the night sky a million stars sparkled. Across the river I could see the twinkling lights of the town. In a week I would be returning to school, and as always I would be running up the goat path and crossing the bridge to go to church. Sometime in the future I would have to build my own dream out of those things that were so much a part of my childhood Picture Quote #1

There’s a flame of magic inside every stone and every flower, every bird that sings and every frog that croaks. There’s magic in the trees and the hills and the river and the rocks, in the sea and the stars and the wind, a deep, wild magic that’s as old as the world itself. It’s in you too, my darling girl, and in me, and in every living creature, be it ever so small. Even the dirt I’m sweeping up now is stardust. In fact, all of us are made from the stuff of stars Picture Quote #1

You are a mischievous one. You will cause no end of trouble. You have to travel many roads before you find the river of your destiny. This life of yours will be full of riddles. You will be protected and you will never be alone Picture Quote #1
