Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

Dams have harmed our wildlife and made rivers less useful for recreation.

In California, there are huge problems because of dams. I'm against big dams, per se, because I think that they are economically unfeasible. They're ecologically unsustainable. And they're hugely undemocratic.

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build bridges even when there are no rivers.

For many of us, clean water is so plentiful and readily available that we rarely, if ever, pause to consider what life would be like without it.

I will never give up, and I will never give in.

So don't send me up the river yet.

The river flows at its own sweet will, but the flood is bound in the two banks. If it were not thus bound, its freedom would be wasted.

Back in my mind, I never, ever wanted to give up swimming; it was something that I would carry on with.

One may as well dam for water tanks the people's cathedrals and churches, for no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man.
