Famous quotes containing the word rivers:

    “He who hears the rippling of rivers in these degenerate days will not utterly despair.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

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

    “The whole appearance is a toy. For this,
    The dove in the belly builds his nest and coos,

    The rivers shine and hold their mirrors up,
    Like excellence collecting excellence?”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
