Famous quotes containing the word flow:

    Only the flow matters; live and let live, love and let love. There is no point to love.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    No care, no stop; so senseless of expense
    That he will neither know how to maintain it
    Nor cease his flow of riot, takes no account
    How things go from him, nor resumes no care
    Of what is to continue.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The current of our thoughts made as sudden bends as the river, which was continually opening new prospects to the east or south, but we are aware that rivers flow most rapidly and shallowest at these points.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
