Famous quotes containing the words rivers and/or lakes:

    “In the rivers north of the future.”
    —Paul Celan [Paul Antschel] (1920–1970)

    “What is most striking in the Maine wilderness is the continuousness of the forest, with fewer open intervals or glades than you had imagined. Except the few burnt lands, the narrow intervals on the rivers, the bare tops of the high mountains, and the lakes and streams, the forest is uninterrupted.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
