James Ellroy quotes
The truth of the matter is, you lose a parent to murder when you're 10 years old, and in fact at the time of the murder you hate your lost parent, my mother in my case.
Christina Aguilera quotes
Whatever I do, it's my business. It's not my job to parent America.
Jim Carrey quotes
All i want to make sure of is that she's doing something she loves. watch your kids when they sit down and absolutely get lost in something. maybe that's what they should be doing-the thing they're dying to do all the time.
Daniel Defoe quotes
Great families of yesterday we show, And lords, whose parents were the Lord knows who.
Phyllis McGinley quotes
Meek-eyed parents hasten down the ramps To greet their offspring, terrible from camps.
Richard Bach quotes
Good and evil are not what our parents told us, not what our church tells us, or our country, not what anybody else tells us! All of us decide good and evil for ourselves, automatically, by choosing what we want to do!
Richard Sheridan quotes
Sheer necessity,-the proper parent of an art so nearly allied to invention.
Paul Newman quotes
While progress should never come to a halt, there are many places it should never come to at all.
Thomas Cole quotes
If I live to be old enough, I may sit down under some bush, the last left in the utilitarian world, and feel thankful that intellect in its march has spared one vestige of the ancient forest for me to die by.
Leo Tolstoy quotes
After the doctor's departure Koznyshev felt inclined to go to the river with his fishing rod. He was fond of angling, and seemed proud of being able to like such a stupid occupation.
Henry David Thoreau quotes
The life in us is like the water in the river. It may rise this year higher than man has ever known it, and flood the parched uplands; even this may be the eventful year, which will drown out all our muskrats. It was not always dry land where we dwell. I see far inland the banks where the stream anciently washed, before science began to record its freshets.
Henry David Thoreau quotes
It is pleasant to have been to a place the way a river went.
Robert Louis Stevenson quotes
There is no music like a little river's . . . It takes the mind out-of-doors . . . and . . . it quiets a man down like saying his prayers.
Blaise Pascal quotes
Rivers are highways that move on and bear us whither we wish to go.
Lyndon Johnson quotes
. . . the time has also come to identify and preserve free-flowing stretches of our great rivers before growth and development make the beauty of the unspoiled waterway a memory.
Lyndon Johnson quotes
An unspoiled river is a very rare thing in this Nation today. Their flow and vitality have been harnessed by dams and too often they have been turned into open sewers by communities and by industries. It makes us all very fearful that all rivers will go this way unless somebody acts now to try to balance our river development.
Roberta Flack quotes
There's a river somewhere that flows through the lives of everyone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes
Indeed the river is a perpetual gala, and boasts each month a new ornament.
