Famous quotes containing the word rivers:

    “The whole appearance is a toy. For this,
    The dove in the belly builds his nest and coos,
    Selah, tempestuous bird. How is it that
    The rivers shine and hold their mirrors up,
    Like excellence collecting excellence?”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “It is easier to move rivers and mountains than to change a person’s basic nature.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, then we remembered Zion.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm CXXXVII (l. CXXXVII, 1)
