Famous quotes containing the words river and/or diversion:
“There are knives that glitter like altars
In a dark church
Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
To be healed.
There’s a woden block where bones are broken,
Scraped clean—a river dried to its bed”
—Charles Simic (b. 1938)
“If our condition were truly happy, we would not need diversion from thinking of it in order to make ourselves happy.”
