Longest River

Famous quotes containing the words longest and/or river:

“The ensuing year will be the longest of my life, and the last of such hateful labours. The next we will sow our cabbages together.”

“If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
