• Your heart is like a great river after a long spell of rain, spilling over its banks. All signposts that once stood on the ground are gone, inundated and carried away by that rush of water. And still the rain beats down on the surface of the river. Every time you see a flood like that on the news you tell yourself: That’s it. That’s my heart.

• The irrevocable Hand
  That opes the year's fair gate, doth ope and shut
  The portals of our earthly destinies;
  We walk through blindfold, and the noiseless doors
  Close after us, for ever.
  
  Pause, my soul,
  On these strange words - for ever - whose large sound
  Breaks flood-like, drowning all the petty noise
  Our human moans make on the shores of Time.
  O Thou that openest, and no man shuts;
  That shut'st, and no man opens - Thee we wait!

• In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.

• A veces, la vida es dura, tan dura como el acero del crisol. Tiene sus momentos sombríos y dolorosos. Como el agua siempre fluyente de un río, la vida tiene sus momentos de sequía y sus momentos de crecida. Como el ciclo siempre cambiante de las estaciones, la vida tiene el calor calmante de los veranos y el frío penetrante de sus inviernos. Pero a través de todo ello, Dios camina con nosotros. No olvides nunca que Dios es capaz de elevarte de la fatiga de la desesperación a la flotabilidad de la esperanza, y de transformar los valles oscuros y desolados en senderos iluminados por el sol de la paz interior.

• You'd see more floods like you've seen in Mozambique in 2000, you'd see more droughts like you saw in Kenya in the late 1990s, there would be a serious threat to the water flow down the Nile on which 10 countries depend.

• And down the dunes a thousand guns lie crouched,Unseen, beside the flood -Like tigers in some Orient jungle crouchedThat wait and watch for blood.Meanwhile, through streets still echoing with trade,Walk grave and thoughtful men,Whose hands may one day wield the patriot's bladeAs lightly as the pen.

• There is a continual exchange of ideas between all minds of a generation. Journalists, popular novelists, illustrators, and cartoonists adapt the truths discovered by the powerful intellects for the multitude. It is like a spiritual flood, like a gush that pours into multiple cascades until it forms the great moving sheet of water that stands for the mentality of a period.
