~ Loren Eiseley
Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.
~ Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad
They both listened silently to the water, which to them was not just water, but the voice of life, the voice of Being, the voice of perpetual Becoming.
~ Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
These things you keep
You'd better throw them away
You wanna turn your back
On your soulless days
Once you were tethered
Well now you are free
That was the river
This is the sea!
~ The Waterboys
High and fine literature is wine, and mine is only water; but everybody likes water.
~ Mark Twain
