The river itself portrays humanity precisely, with its tortuous windings, its accumulation of driftwood, its unsuspected depths, and its crystalline shallows, singing in the Summer sun. Barriers may be built across its path, but they bring only power, as the conquering of an obstacle is always sure to do. Sometimes when the rocks and stone-clad hills loom large ahead, and eternity itself would be needed to carve a passage, there is an easy way around. The discovery of it makes the river sing with gladness and turns the murmurous deeps to living water, bright with ripples and foam. . Myrtle Reed
About This Quote

Sometimes, life seems to be unfair. Things happen that seem to be accidents, or seemingly bad luck. For example, if you’re driving down the highway and suddenly the car in front of you stops suddenly, you would think, “Oh my god!” But if you were driving behind this car, you would think differently. The car stopped because someone had sneaked up on them or was trying to avoid an accident of some kind. A lot of the time though, life is just full of random events that put everything into perspective.
