Dry Quotes (page 5)

His duty he always faithfully did; but duty is sometimes a dry obligation, and he was for irrigating its aridity whensoever possible with a fertilizing decoction of strong waters. Herman Melville
The autumn leaves blew over the moonlit pavement in such a way as to make the girl who was moving there seem fixed to a sliding walk, letting the motion of the wind and the leaves carry her forward. [...] The trees overhead made a great sound of letting down their dry rain. Ray Bradbury
I know what my heart is like. Since your love died: It is like a hollow ledge. Holding a little pool. Left there by the tide, A little tepid pool, Drying inward from the edge. Edna St. Vincent Millay
Andre Breton quote: "The clouds were disappearing rapidly, leaving the stars to..."
The clouds were disappearing rapidly, leaving the stars to die. The night dried up. Andre Breton
God went out of me as if the sea dried up like sandpaper, as if the sun became a latrine. God went out of my fingers. They became stone. My body became a side of mutton and despair roamed the slaughterhouse. Anne Sexton
In New Mexico, he always awoke a young man, not until he arose and began to shave did he realize that he was growing older. His first consciousness was a sense of the light dry wind blowing in through the windows, with the fragrance of hot sun and sage-brush and sweet clover; a wind that made one's body feel light and one's heart cry 'To-day, to-day,' like a child's. Willa Cather
In a dry wind like this, snow and ice can pass directly into the air as a gas without having first melted to water. This process is called sublimation; tonight the snow in the yard and the ice in the creek sublime. Annie Dillard
Nora Roberts quote: "Ah, kiss me, love, and miss me, love, and dry your bitter..."
Ah, kiss me, love, and miss me, love, and dry your bitter tears. (Irish Pub Song) Nora Roberts
I will be able to love above all discontentment. To give even when I am stripped of everything. To dry tears even when I am still crying. To believe even when I am discredited. Paulo Coelho
Charles M. Schulz quote: "Lucy was using my blanket to dry the dishes... We now have..."
Lucy was using my blanket to dry the dishes... We now have very secure dishes! Charles M. Schulz
The failures are not due to any injustice, but to an inner defect. It is always caused by the person himself. Yes, I know, you think you are doing an act of justice. But they will only suck you dry, wear out your energy, nourish themselves on your ideas. After being the most compassionate man in the world, I say to you today: Let the weak ones die, let them commit suicide. Anais Nin
It ain't that you get religion. Religion gets you and then milks you dry. Won't let you drink a little whiskey. Won't let you make no fat-assed girls grin and giggle. Won't let you do a damn thing except work for what you'll get in the hearafter. I live in the here and now. Dorothy Allison
My mouth has gone dry as sawdust. I desperately find Cinna in the crowd and lock eyes with him. I imagine the words coming from his lips. 'What's impressed you most since you arrived here?' I rack my brain for something that made me happy here. Be honest, I think. Be honest. Suzanne Collins
Louis L'Amour quote: "Have faith in God but keep your powder dry."
Have faith in God but keep your powder dry. Louis L'Amour
Among the rich you will never find a really generous man even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egotistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it. Gilbert K. Chesterton
