Mad River

Famous quotes containing the words mad and/or river:

“Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“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)
