Jeffrey Eugenides quote: "Regret, already sogging me down, burst its dam. It seeped into..."
Regret, already sogging me down, burst its dam. It seeped into my legs, it pooled in my heart. Jeffrey Eugenides
Ernest Hemingway quote: "I have a Thompson SubMachine gun and we shoot sharks with it...."
...I have a Thompson SubMachine gun and we shoot sharks with it. As soon as they put their heads out we give them a burst. Ernest Hemingway
I remember the smell of the pines and the sleeping on the mattresses of beech leaves in the woodcutters' huts and the skiing through the forest following the tracks of hares and of foxes. In the high mountains above the tree line I remember following the track of a fox until I came in sight of him and watching him stand with his right forefoot raised and then go carefully to stop and then pounce, and the whiteness and the clutter of a ptarmigan bursting out of the snow and flying away and... Ernest Hemingway
Ugly, degrading, rather terrible half-truths... It is bad for the soul to know itself a coward, it is apt to take refuge in mere wordy violence... Their hearts ached while their lips formed recriminations. Their hearts burst into tears while their eyes remained dry and accusing, staring in hostility and anger... They could not forgive and they could not sleep, for neither could sleep without the other's forgiveness, and the hatred that leapt out at moments between them would be drowned in the... Radclyffe Hall
Katy Perry quote: "Baby you're a firework, come on, let your colors burst!!"
Baby you're a firework, come on, let your colors burst!! Katy Perry
They're betting on how long I'll live!" I burst out. "They're not my friends!"Well, try and pretend!" snaps Effie. Then she composes herself and beams at me. "See, like this. I'm smiling at you even though you're aggravating me. Suzanne Collins
Oh, something is there, waiting for me. Perhaps someday the revelation will burst upon me and I will see the other side of this monumental grotesque joke. And then I’ll laugh. And then I’ll know what life is. Sylvia Plath
But now and then, a woman walks up, full blossom, a woman just bursting out of her dress…a sex creature, a curse, the end of it all. Charles Bukowski
Tyrion Lannister could not have been more astonished if Aegon the Conqueror himself had burst into the room, riding on a dragon and juggling lemon pies. George R. R. Martin
Samuel Beckett quote: "But I know what darkness is, it accumulates, thickens, then..."
But I know what darkness is, it accumulates, thickens, then suddenly bursts and drowns everything. Samuel Beckett
We are creators, and yet we naively play the role of "the created." We see ourselves as helpless sheep buffeted around by the God who made us. We kneel like frightened children, begging for help, for forgiveness, for good luck. But once we realize that we are truly created in the Creator's image, we will start to understand that we, too, must be Creators. When we understand this fact, the doors will burst wide open for human potential. Dan Brown
We cannot know his legendary headwith eyes like ripening fruit. And yet his torsois still suffused with brilliance from inside, like a lamp, in which his gaze, now turned to low, gleams in all its power. Otherwisethe curved breast could not dazzle you so, nor coulda smile run through the placid hips and thighsto that dark center where procreation flared. Otherwise this stone would seem defacedbeneath the translucent cascade of the shouldersand would not glisten like a wild beast's fur: would... Rainer Maria Rilke

Like the soil, mind is fertilized while it lies fallow, until a new burst of bloom ensues. John Dewey
Watching Italians eat (especially men, I have to say) is a form of tourism the books don't tell you about. They close their eyes, raise their eyebrows into accent marks, and make sounds of acute appreciation. It's fairly sexy. Of course I don't know how these men behave at home, if they help with the cooking or are vain and boorish and mistreat their wives. I realized Mediterranean cultures have their issues. Fine, don't burst my bubble. I didn’t want to marry these guys, I just wanted to... Barbara Kingsolver
