Famous quotes containing the words river and/or nun:
“A reaction: a boat which is going against the current but which does not prevent the river from flowing on.”

“The sight of a Black nun strikes their sentimentality; and, as I am unalterably rooted in native ground, they consider me a work of primitive art, housed in a magical color; the incarnation of civilized, anti-heathenism, and the fruit of a triumphing idea.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
