Famous quotes containing the word river:

    “Sitting in that dusky wilderness, under that dark mountain, by the bright river which was full of reflected light, still I heard the wood thrush sing, as if no higher civilization could be attained. By this time the night was upon us.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
