“life is a river always flowing. do not hold onto things. work hard.”

“May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.”

“The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.”

“Some people are destined to dream (some, indeed, are paid rather well to do so); some are born to work, practical and concrete and tireless; and there are others who are like a river, who flow effortlessly down from source to mouth, hardly straying from its bed.”

“Love, being in love, isn’t a constant thing. It doesn’t always flow at the same strength. It’s not always like a river in flood. It’s more like the sea. It has tides, it ebbs and flows. The thing is, when love is real, whether it’s ebbing or flowing, it’s always there, it never goes away. And that’s the only proof you can have that it is real, and not just a crush or an infatuation or a passing fancy”

“Life might be easier if you give in a little, but it's better if you hold onto something so hard you can't give it up.”
