Famous quotes containing the words timeless and/or river:
“The universe seems to me infinitely strange and foreign. At such a moment I gaze upon it with a mixture of anguish and euphoria; separate from the universe, as though placed at a certain distance outside it; I look and I see pictures, creatures that move in a kind of timeless time and spaceless space, emitting sounds that are a kind of language I no longer understand or ever register.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“but we wish the river had another shore,
some further range of delectable mountains,”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
