Upstream Quotes

Upstream, Arkansas and Ohio have their bottomlands, too, populated by a jaundiced and hungry-looking race, prone to fevers, whose eyes gleam at the sight of stone and iron, for they know only sand and driftwood and muddy water. Jorge Luis Borges
Independent will is our capacity to act. It gives us the power to transcend our paradigms, to swim upstream, to rewrite our scripts, to act based on principle rather than reacting based on emotion or circumstance. Stephen Covey
Why travel to the Moon or Mars if we only continue our wars there with Russia or China or Africa? Why build rockets at all? For fun? For adventure? Or is this the same process that sends the salmons back upstream year after year to spawn and die - a subliminal urge in mankind to spread, in self-preservation, to the stars? Are we then secretly fearful that one day the sun might freeze and the the earth grow cold or the sun explode in a terrific thermal cataclysm and burn down our house of cards? Ray Bradbury
Arthur Golden quote: "When we fight upstream against a rocky undercurrent, every..."
When we fight upstream against a rocky undercurrent, every foothold takes on a kind of urgency. Arthur Golden
Gary Snyder quote: "Great Brown Bear is walking with us, Salmon swimming upstream..."
Great Brown Bear is walking with us, Salmon swimming upstream with us, as we stroll a city street. Gary Snyder
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
Will Rogers quote: "Always drink upstream from the herd."
Always drink upstream from the herd. Will Rogers
At the window he sits and looks out, musing on the river, a little brown hen duck paddling upstream among the windwaves close to the far bank. What he has understood lies behind him like a road in the woods. He is a wilderness looking out at the wild. Wendell Berry
Wendell Berry quote: "Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do..."
Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you. Wendell Berry
Otis Criblecoblis quote: "Remember, a dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a..."
Remember, a dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream. Otis Criblecoblis
John Oates quote: "Swimming upstream in the music business is a hard thing to do."
Swimming upstream in the music business is a hard thing to do. John Oates
Loretta Lynn quote: "You ain't supposed to get salmon when they're swimming..."
You ain't supposed to get salmon when they're swimming upstream to spawn. But if you're hungry, you do. Loretta Lynn
I needed to explain that Louisiana's coast accepts the drainage from two-thirds of the United States and, while the necessary levees constructed upstream have prevented floods, they have also contributed to problems downstream. John Breaux
I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream. Neil Armstrong
