Famous quotes containing the words fall, river and/or valley:
“The tension to mother the “right” way can leave a peculiar silence within mother daughter relationships—the silence of a mother’s own truth and experience. Within this silence, a daughter’s authentic voice can also fall silent. This is the silence of perfection. This silence of perfection prevents mothers from listening and learning from their daughters.”

—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Down in the valley,
Valley so low,
Hang your head over,
Hear the train blow.”
