“Next time you wish to feed me poison, warn me first," Loor demanded. (The Merchant of Death)”

“See how the Yellow River's waters move out of heaven,
Entering the ocean, never to return.”

“Fire on anything that moves on the river.”

“It is only in appearance that time is a river. It is rather a vast landscape and it is the eye of the beholder that moves.”

“Heathcliff, make the world stop right here. Make everything stop and stand still and never move again. Make the moors never change and you and I never change.”

“Psychotics, say what you want about them, tend to make the first move.”

“A river seems a magic thing. A magic, moving, living part of the very earth itself.”

“Hey, is it considered molestation if the child makes the first move? I'm gonna need a quick answer on this.”

“There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?”
