... the river is everywhere at once, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the rapids, in the sea, in the mountains, everywhere at once, and that there is only the present time for it, not the shadow of the past, not the shadow of the future. Hermann Hesse
About This Quote

The River Styx is the river that takes all of the souls of the dead to the underworld, but it can also be found in every moment of our life. We are always on the river, caught between two worlds, and constantly moving towards a destination. The river is everything that takes us away from where we are now, but everything that brings us back to where we are right now.
