Famous quotes containing the word river:

    “Other roads do some violence to Nature, and bring the traveler to stare at her, but the river steals into the scenery it traverses without intrusion, silently creating and adorning it, and is as free to come and go as the zephyr.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
