Pearl Quotes (page 2)

The sailors do not mind the arrangement, for they know that this way there will, at the least, be one person who, at the last, will notice when they do not come back from the sea, and will mourn their loss; and their wives content themselves with the certain knowledge that their husbands are also unfaithful, for there is no competing with the sea in a man's affections, since she is both mother and mistress, and she will wash his corpse also, in time to come, wash it to coral and ivory and... Neil Gaiman
Raymond Chandler quote: "I belonged in Idle Valley like a pearl onion on a banana split."
I belonged in Idle Valley like a pearl onion on a banana split. Raymond Chandler
Mother," said little Pearl, "the sunshine does not love you. It runs away and hides itself, because it is afraid of something on your bosom. Now, see! There it is, playing a good way off. Stand you here, and let me run and catch it. Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nathaniel Hawthorne quote: "No, my little Pearl! Thou must gather thine own sunshine. I..."
No, my little Pearl! Thou must gather thine own sunshine. I have none to give thee. Nathaniel Hawthorne
There are stories that are true, in which each individual's tale is unique and tragic, and the worst of the tragedy is that we have heard it before, and we cannot allow ourselves to feel it to deeply. We build a shell around it like an oyster dealing with a painful particle of grit, coating it with smooth pearl layers in order to cope.

Change isn't always for the worst; the shell that forms around a piece of sand looks to some people like an irritation., and to others, like a pearl. Jodi Picoult
Its like reproaching someone who has no ear for music because he's bored at a symphony concert. Is it fair to blame me because you ascribed to me qualities that I hadn't got? I never tried to deceive you by pretending I was anything I wasn't. I was just pretty and gay. You don't ask for a pearl necklace or a sable coat at a booth in a fair; you ask for a tin trumpet and a toy balloon. W. Somerset Maugham
She wore a loose bathrobe that covered up a body that would have won first prize in a beauty contest for cement blocks.....She had a voice that made pearl harbour sound like a lullaby. Richard Brautigan
I sit back on my bed cross-legged and find myself rubbing the smooth iridescent surface of the pearl back and forth against my lips. For some reason, it’s soothing. A cool kiss Suzanne Collins
There were dumplings on the train, sold by grim men and women with deep lines cut into their faces by years and worry and hunger and misery. This was the provinces, the outer territories, the mysterious China that had sent millions of girls and boys to Canton to earn their fortunes in the Pearl River Delta. Matthew knew all their strange accents, he spoke their strange Mandarin language, but he was Cantonese, and these were not his people. Those were not his dumplings. Cory Doctorow
Peeta rinses the pearl off in the water and hands it to me. “For you.” I hold it out on my palm and examine its iridescent surface in the sunlight. Yes, I will keep it. For the few remaining hours of my life I will keep it close. This last gift from Peeta. The only one I can really accept. Perhaps it will give me strength in the final moments. Suzanne Collins
Daphne du Maurier quote: "I wish I was a woman of about thirty-six dressed in black..."
I wish I was a woman of about thirty-six dressed in black satin with a string of pearls. Daphne du Maurier
To love or have loved is all-sufficing. We must not ask for more. No other pearl is to be found in the shadowfolds of life. To love is an accomplishment. Victor Hugo
Bob Dylan quote: "... with her fog, her amphetamine, and her pearls ..."
... with her fog, her amphetamine, and her pearls ... Bob Dylan
Kurt Cobain quote: "I would love to be erased from our association with Pearl Jam..."
