Not only does the psyche exist, but it is existence itself.

Patti Smith

Pissing in a river, watching it rise.

Ovid

Time itself flows on with constant motion, just like a river: for no more than a river can the fleeting hour stand still. As wave is driven on by wave, and, itself pursued, pursues the one before, so the moments of time at once flee and follow, and are ever new.
