„Minden elmúlik, ahogy a víz is elfolyik, ahogy a szív felejt.”
„A folyókban a víz, amelyet megérintesz, az utolsó abból, ami elmúlt, és az első abból, ami jön; így van ez a jelen idővel is.”
Eredeti

There comes a time, my friends, when people get tired of being plunged across the abyss of humiliation, where they experience the bleakness of nagging despair. There comes a time when people get tired of being pushed out of the glittering sunlight of life’s July and left standing amid the piercing chill of an alpine November.
Beszéd Montgomeryben, 1955. december 5.
