Wild Rivers National

Famous quotes containing the words wild, rivers and/or national:

    It is hard going to the door
    cut so small in the wall where
    the vision which echoes loneliness
    brings a scent of wild flowers in the wood.
    Robert Creeley (b. 1926)

    Melancholy is at the bottom of everything, just as at the end of all rivers is the sea. Can it be otherwise in a world where nothing lasts, where all that we have loved or shall love must die? Is death, then, the secret of life? The gloom of an eternal mourning enwraps, more or less closely, every serious and thoughtful soul, as night enwraps the universe.
    Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

    [Wellesley College] is about as meaningful to the educational process in America as a perfume factory is to the national economy.
    Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
