Famous quotes containing the words branch and/or river:
“When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it—a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand—as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there’s a clash between the two, it is bad art.”
—Marc Chagall (1889–1985)
“but we wish the river had another shore,
some further range of delectable mountains,”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
