Famous quotes containing the words river and/or transport:
“the folk-lore
Of each of the senses; call it, again and again,
The river that flows nowhere, like a sea.”

“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
