“The river's injury is its shape.”
“Every great quotation carries the power to shape the world like a river.”
“Water isn't shaped like a river or ocean; it mists invisibly against metal and glass”
“That's the one trouble with this country: everything, weather, all, hangs on too long. Like our rivers, our land: opaque, slow, violent; shaping and creating the life of man in its implacable and brooding image.”
“It's my cologne. Eau de Recent Injury." (Jace)”
“The past is like a great stone that lies on the bed of a river, hidden from view but shaping the currents of the water as it flows by. You cannot read the currents in the river of your own life, and navigate them safely, if you do not understand what causes them. You must know your past, for it will shape your future.”
