Drifting into Darien: A Personal and Natural History of the Altamaha River QUOTES

1 " A river can't forgive because it is only capable, in the first place, of love. A river loves the dumpers, the polluters, the slayers, the nest-thieves, the bird-killers, the dammers, the water-stealers. A river loves even the clear-cutters. But I can forgive. I am trying to be like the river. "

― Janisse Ray , Drifting into Darien: A Personal and Natural History of the Altamaha River

2 " Were my imagination greater I would grant stories to the souls lost to history. Were I able to hear with my bones I wold know the underside of their colossal silence. "
