Quote from Norman Maclean

 Now nearly all those I loved and did not understand when I was young are dead,but I still reach out to them.Eventually,all things merge into one,and a river runs through it.The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops.Under the rocks are the words,and some of the words are theirs.-Norman Maclean,A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT.
