• Se puede ver por qué tenencia los hombres sujetaron la tierra. La corriente más pequeña es el mar Mediterráneo, un riachuelo oceánico más pequeño dentro de la tierra, donde los hombres pueden guiarse por los límites de sus granjas y las luces de sus casas de campo. Por mi parte, de no ser por los geógrafos, difícilmente habría sabido cuán grande es la porción de nuestro globo que es agua, ya que mi vida ha transcurrido principalmente dentro de una ensenada tan profunda. Sin embargo, a veces me he aventurado hasta la boca de mi Snug Harbor.

  Henry David Thoreau

  Océano, Hombres, Mar

• Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and a violent stream; for as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place, and this will be carried away too.

• I know and share the many sorrows a human being can experience, but I do not cling to them; they pass through me, like life itself, as a broad eternal stream...and life continues.

• She felt the essence of herself pulled finer and smaller like those streams of spun glass that pull and stretch till there remains but a glimmering illusion. Neither falling nor breaking, the stream spins finer. She felt herself very small and ecstatic. Alabama was in love.

• By the time it came to the edge of the Forest, the stream had grown up, so that it was almost a river, and, being grown-up, it did not run and jump and sparkle along as it used to do when it was younger, but moved more slowly. For it knew now where it was going, and it said to itself, “There is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” But all the little streams higher up in the Forest went this way and that, quickly, eagerly, having so much to find out before it was too late.

• The gods made the earth for all men t' share. Only when the kings come with their crowns and steel swords, they claimed it was all theirs. "My trees," they said, "you can't eat them apples. My stream, you can't fish here. My wood, you're not t' hunt. My earth, my water, my castle, my daughter, keep your hands away or I'll chop 'em off, but maybe if you kneel t' me I'll let you have a sniff." You call us thieves, but at least a thief has t' be brave and clever and quick. A kneeler only has t' kneel.

• Without difficulties, life would be like a stream without rocks and curves – about as interesting as concrete. Without problems, there can be no personal growth, no group achievement, no progress of humanity. But what mattes about problems is what one does with them.

  Benjamin Hoff

• Perhaps we are the same person. Perhaps we have no limits; perhaps we flow into each other, stream through each other, boundlessly and magnificently. You bear terrible thoughts; it is almost painful to be near you. At the same time it is enticing. Do you know why?

  We stand upon its brink, whilst they are gone
  To glide in peace down death's mysterious stream.

• Para ser feliz en este mundo, especialmente cuando la juventud ha pasado, es necesario sentirse no sólo un individuo aislado cuyo día pronto terminará, sino parte de la corriente de la vida que fluye desde el primer germen hasta el futuro remoto y desconocido.

• El tiempo, en su irresistible e incesante fluir, arrastra en su torrente todas las cosas creadas y las ahoga en las profundidades de la oscuridad. . . . Pero el relato de la historia forma un baluarte muy fuerte contra la corriente del tiempo, y frena en cierta medida su irresistible fluir, de modo que, de todas las cosas hechas en él, cuantas la historia se ha apoderado de ellas las asegura y las une, y no permite que se deslicen hacia el abismo del olvido.

  Anna Komnene

• La civilización es un arroyo con orillas. El arroyo se llena a veces de sangre de gente que mata, roba, grita y hace las cosas que los historiadores suelen registrar, mientras que en las orillas, sin que nadie se dé cuenta, la gente construye casas, hace el amor, cría niños, canta canciones, escribe poesía e incluso talla estatuas. La historia de la civilización es lo que ocurrió en las orillas.

  Will Durant

• It is well, when the wise and the learned discover new truths; but how much better to diffuse the truths already discovered, amongst the multitude! Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power; and while a philosopher is discovering one new truth, millions may be propagated amongst the people. Diffusion, then, rather than discovery, is the duty of our government.

• A little sun, a little rain,
  A soft wind blowing from the west,
  And woods and fields are sweet again,
  And warmth within the mountain's breast
  
  A little love, a little trust,
  A soft impulse, a sudden dream,
  And life as dry as desert dust,
  Is fresher than a mountain stream.

• En la última escena de la vida qué prodigios sorprenden,
  los temores de los valientes y las locuras de los sabios.
  De los ojos de Marlborough fluyen los arroyos de la vejez,
  y Swift expira como un charlatán y un espectáculo.

• Así ha fluido su vida, De su misteriosa urna un arroyo sagrado, En cuya tranquila profundidad lo bello y lo puro, Solo se reflejan; que, aunque las formas del mal, Puedan revolotear alrededor de su superficie, se desliza en la luz, Y no les hace sombra.

• Sus soñadores pueden soñarlo
  La sombra de un sueño,
  Tus sabios pueden considerarlo
  Una burbuja en la corriente;
  Pero nuestro reino se acerca
  Con cada amanecer y cada día,
  A través del terremoto y el fuego
  El amor encontrará el camino.

• La música, el mayor bien que conocen los mortales,
  Y todo el cielo tenemos abajo.
  La música puede impartir nobles consejos,
  engendrar furia, encender amor;
  40 Con insospechada elocuencia puede conmover,
  Y manejar a todo el hombre con arte secreto.
  Cuando Orfeo toca la lira temblorosa
  Los arroyos se detienen, las piedras admiran;
  Los salvajes que escuchan avanzan,
  El mundo y el cordero tropiezan a su alrededor
  Los osos saltan a su alrededor,
  y los tigres se mezclan en la danza.
  Los bosques en movimiento asistieron mientras él tocaba
  Y Ródope se quedó sin sombra.

  Joseph Addison

  Música, Arte, Conmoción
