Rolls Quotes (page 26)

Oh God," Coyote said, and rolled onto his side, propping his head up on one hand. "It's hard to remember something that long ago. It's almost like an epic poem I memorized once, and can barely recite anymore. Kim Stanley Robinson
And so we picked up our bags, he the trunk with his one good arm and I the rest, and staggered to the cable-car stop; in a moment rolled down the hill with our legs dangling to the sidewalk from the jiggling shelf, two broken-down heroes of the Western night. Jack Kerouac
My theme is memory, that winged host that soared about me one grey morning of war-time. These memories, which are my life—for we possess nothing certainly except the past—were always with me. Like the pigeons of St. Mark’s, they were everywhere, under my feet, singly, in pairs, in little honey-voiced congregations, nodding, strutting, winking, rolling the tender feathers of their necks, perching sometimes, if I stood still, on my shoulder or pecking a broken biscuit from between my lips;... Evelyn Waugh
There is something deeply surreal about standing behind a female performer in hotpink peau de soie, a woman whose clitoris and perineum you have priorly seen, and watching her try to get a microwaved egg roll onto her plate with a cocktail fork. David Foster Wallace
And she would weep. When he saw tears rolling down her face, he would forgive her. She was less certain whether she would forgive herself. George R. R. Martin

At first I'd want to know everything about the potato in question, and I would take a large stake in the matter, but towards the end of my reig?"Here Jack rolled his eyes, as Frenchmen frequently did during encounters with Englishmen. Leroy seemed to take his meaning very clearly. "It is the same with every King. Neal Stephenson
The writer must be able to revel and roll in the abundance of words; he must know not only the direct but also the secret power of a word. There are overtones and undertones to a word, and lateral echoes, too. Knut Hamsun
Human manners are wildly inconsistent; plenty of people have said so. But this one takes the cake: the manner in which we're allowed to steal from future generations, while commanding them not to do that to us, and rolling our eyes at anyone who is tediously PC enough to point that out. The conspicious consumption of limited resources has yet to be accepted widely as a spirtual error, or even bad manners. Barbara Kingsolver
Don’t ask me why I obsessively look to rock ’n’ roll bands for some kind of model for a better society. I guess it’s just that I glimpsed something beautiful in a flashbulb moment once, and perhaps mistaking it for prophecy have been seeking its fulfillment ever since. Lester Bangs
The nightingales are sobbing in. The orchards of our mothers, And hearts that we broke long ago. Have long been breaking others; Tears are round, the sea is deep: Roll them overboard and sleep. W. H. Auden
John Keats quote: "Pensive they sit, and roll their languid eyes."
Pensive they sit, and roll their languid eyes. John Keats
We laugh at a man who, stepping out of his room at the very minute when the sun is rising, says, “It is my will that the sun shall rise”; or at him who, unable to stop a wheel, says, “I wish it to roll”; or, again, at him who, thrown in a wrestling match, says, “Here I lie, but here I wish to lie.” But, joking apart, do we not act like one of these three persons whenever we use the expression “I wish”? Friedrich Nietzsche
Jim Carrey quote: "Behinf every great man there is a woman rolling her eyes."
Behinf every great man there is a woman rolling her eyes. Jim Carrey
Tom Robbins quote: "like two r's trapped in a spanish songbook, tilli and max..."
like two r's trapped in a spanish songbook, tilli and max lurked in their shoebox castle, waiting to be rolled. Tom Robbins
I will bathe in your warmth ma petite. Roll you around me until my heart beats only for you. My breath will grow warm from your kiss. Laurell K. Hamilton
