Famous quotes containing the words river, preserve, state and/or park:
“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The worst of charity is, that the lives you are asked to preserve are not worth preserving.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A state always calls itself fatherland when it is ready for murder.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“The park is filled with night and fog,
The veils are drawn about the world,”
—Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)
