Top Flatboat Quotes

Flatboat Quotes By Rinker Buck

The pioneers and their new Indian partners amply displayed the American penchant for technological prowess, developing shore-to-shore windlasses and flatboat ferries to cross the rivers, innovations as vital to the country's progress as the steam engine and the telegraph. America's default toward massive waste and environmental havoc was also, and hilariously, perfected along the trail. Scammed by the merchants of Independence and St. Joe into overloading their wagons, the pioneers jettisoned thousands of tons of excess gear, food, and even pianos along the ruts, turning vast riverfront regions of the West into America's first and largest Superfund sites. On issue after issue - disease, religious strife, the fierce competition for water - the trail served as an incubator for conflicts that would continue to reverberate through American culture until our own day. — Rinker Buck

Flatboat Quotes By Harlan Ellison

Time is like a river flowing endlessly through the universe. And if you poled your flatboat in that river you might fight your way against the current and travel upstream into the past. Or go with the flow and rush into the future. This was in a less cynical time before toxic waste dumping and pollution filled the waterway of Chronus with the detritus of empty hours wasted minutes years of repetition and time that has been killed. — Harlan Ellison

Flatboat Quotes By Jacob K. Javits

Flatboat Quotes By Tennessee Williams

Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going. — Tennessee Williams

Flatboat Quotes By George Chauncey

Most gay men did not speak out against anti-gay policing so openly, but to take this as evidence that they had internalized anti-gay attitudes is to ignore the strength of the forces arrayed against them, to misinterpret silence as acquiescence, and to construe resistance in the narrowest of terms - as the organization of formal political groups and petitions. — George Chauncey

Flatboat Quotes By Parker J. Palmer

Embracing one's wholeness makes life more demanding
because once you do that, you must live your whole life. One of the most painful discoveries I made in the midst of the dark woods of depression was that a part of me wanted to stay depressed. As long as I clung to this living death, life became easier; little was expected of me, certainly not serving others. — Parker J. Palmer

Flatboat Quotes By S.E. Hall

Maybe it's not about the length of time you've known someone; maybe it's about instant recognition on an unconscious level. Our souls know each other. — S.E. Hall

Flatboat Quotes By Deborah King

The worst lies of all are the ones we tell ourselves. They are the most damaging. — Deborah King

Flatboat Quotes By Joan Z. Borysenko

A spiritually optimistic point of view holds that the universe is woven out of a fabric of love. Everything that is happening is ultimately for the good if we're willing to face it head-on and use our adversities for soul growth. — Joan Z. Borysenko

Flatboat Quotes By Jane Green

Life is so easy when you are young, she thinks. You can say and do almost anything, safe in the knowledge that an apology will make everything better. The older you get, the more impact those harmful words and deeds have. Once said, those words cannot be unspoken. — Jane Green
