Strewn Quotes

The trees and shrubs rear white arms to the sky on every side; and where were walls and fences, we see forms stretching in frolic gambols across the dusky landscape, as if Nature had strewn her fresh designs over the fields by night as models for man's art. Henry David Thoreau
What reconciles me to my own death more than anything else is the image of a place: a place where your bones and mine are buried, thrown, uncovered, together. They are strewn there pell-mell. One of your ribs leans against my skull. A metacarpal of my left hand lies inside your pelvis. (Against my broken ribs your breast like a flower.) The hundred bones of our feet are scattered like gravel. It is strange that this image of our proximity, concerning as it does mere phosphate of calcium,... John Berger
But later that day, the streets of Kweilin were strewn with newspapers reporting great Kuomintang victories, and on top of these papers, like fresh fish from a butcher, lay rows of people - men, women and children who had never lost hope, but had lost their lives instead. Amy Tan
That orbd maiden, with white fire laden, Whom mortals call the moon, Glides glimmering o’er my fleece-like floor By the midnight breezes strewn. Percy Bysshe Shelley
I am alone on this road strewn with bones and bordered by ruins! Angels have their brothers, and demons have their infernal companions. Yet I have but the sound of my scythe when it harvests, my whistling arrows, my galloping horse. Always the sound of the same wave eating away at the world Gustave Flaubert
My love, do you recall the object which we saw, That fair, sweet, summer morn! At a turn in the path a foul carcass. On a gravel strewn bed, Its legs raised in the air, like a lustful woman, Burning and dripping with poisons, Displayed in a shameless, nonchalant way. Its belly, swollen with gases. Charles Baudelaire
Elizabeth Bowen quote: "The innocent are so few that two of them seldom meet—when they..."
The innocent are so few that two of them seldom meet—when they do, their victims lie strewn around. Elizabeth Bowen
Also, I do seem attracted to trash, as if the clue--the clue--lies there. I'm always ferreting out elliptical points, odd angles. What I write doesn't make a whole lot of sense. There is fun and religion and psychotic horror strewn about like a bunch of hats. Also, there is a social or sociological drift--rather than toward the hard sciences, the overall impression is childish but interesting. Philip K. Dick
And love was creation's source, creation's ruler; but all love's ways are strewn with blossoms and blood, blossoms and blood. Knut Hamsun
John Ruskin quote: "The path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers; but..."
The path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers; but they rise behind her steps, not before them. John Ruskin
Rowan Atkinson quote: "The path of my life is strewn with cow pats from the devil's..."
The path of my life is strewn with cow pats from the devil's own satanic herd! Rowan Atkinson
Le Corbusier quote: "Our world, like a charnel-house, is strewn with the detritus..."
Our world, like a charnel-house, is strewn with the detritus of dead epochs. Le Corbusier
She had acquired some of his gypsy ways, some of his nonchalance, his bohemian indiscipline. She had swung with him into the disorders of strewn clothes, spilled cigarette ashes, slipping into bed all dressed, falling asleep thus, indolence, timelessness...A region of chaos and moonlight. She liked it there. Anais Nin
Alexander Graham Bell quote: "God has strewn our paths with wonders and we certainly should..."
God has strewn our paths with wonders and we certainly should not go through Life with our eyes shut. Alexander Graham Bell
I never saw a man fight as Conan fought. He put his back to the courtyard wall, and before they overpowered him the dead men were strewn in heaps thigh-deep about him. But at last they dragged him down, a hundred against one. Robert E. Howard
