What Is A River? Quotes

“So, you see, the story of the river can never be finished. It is constantly being written.”

“Rivers ... collect fragments of our lives. Sometimes people lose things in rivers, or throw them in on purpose. Some are carried along by the current. Occasionally they resurface; in this way, the river brings us pieces of the past. Others sink slowly down, eventually settling in the mud. Bicycles, keys, mementos—even memories ... What we throw away or lose, rivers often hold and remember.”
― Monika Vaicenavičienė, What Is A River?

“Some river names are so old that their origins are lost to time, and we no longer know where they came from. But whether we know the origin of the name or not, every river's name contains a story—perhaps of power, love, war, or loss.”
