River Edge

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or edge:

“There are books so alive that you’re always afraid that while you weren’t reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?”
—Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941)

“We hear the Secretary of State boasting of his brinkmanship—the art of bringing us to the edge of the abyss.”
