Water Quotes (page 15)

Nobody wanted your dance, Nobody wanted your strange glitter, your floundering. Drowning life and your effort to save yourself, Treading water, dancing the dark turmoil, Looking for something to give. Ted Hughes
Ellen DeGeneres quote: "It's funny how cucumber water can taste so much better than..."
It's funny how cucumber water can taste so much better than pickle juice, even though they come from the same source. Ellen DeGeneres
Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll... Haruki Murakami
Franz Kafka quote: "Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical;..."
Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Franz Kafka
He slept and in his sleep he saw his friends again and they were coming downriver on muddy floodwaters, Hoghead and the City Mouse and J-Bone and Bearhunter and Bucket and Boneyard and J D Davis and Earl Solomon, all watching him where he stood on the shore. They turned gently in their rubber bullboat, bobbing slightly on the broad and ropy waters, their feet impinging in the floor of the thing with membraneous yellow tracks. They glided past somberly. Out of a lightless dawn receding, past... Cormac McCarthy
John Steinbeck quote: "You never oughta drink water when it ain't runnin'."
You never oughta drink water when it ain't runnin'. John Steinbeck
For how can a man stand, unless he have something sure under his feet. Can a man tread the unstable water all his life, and call that standing? Better give in and drown at once. David Herbert Lawrence
Jeanette Winterson quote: "If you should leave me, my heart will turn to water and flood..."
If you should leave me, my heart will turn to water and flood away. Jeanette Winterson
I would describe myself like a landscape I’ve studied at length, in detail; like a word I’m coming to understand; like a pitcher I pour from at mealtime; like my mother’s face; like a ship that carried me when the waters raged. Rainer Maria Rilke
The six elephants stood, roped each by the foreleg side by side in the vast thirty-foot tent put up several days since for their comfort; their trunks peacefully swaying as the cowardie scuttled back and forth with limp forkloads of hay. Small puffs of steam came from their mouths. Their breath was sweet, filling the sun-warmed, crisp air; and their hides, soothed, clean and lustrous from the water, lay calm on their great hips like the skin of the moon. Only at the end of the line the great... Dorothy Dunnett
Coarse rice to eat, water to drink, my bended arm for a pillow - therein is happiness. Wealth and rank attained through immoral means are nothing but drifting clouds. Confucius
And each stroke of his tongue ripped off skin after successive skin, all the skins of a life in the world, and left behind a nascent patina of shining hairs. My earrings turned back to water and trickled down my shoulders; I shrugged the drops off my beautiful fur. Angela Carter
Love is the most dangerous craving of all, if you ask me. It turns us into people we aren't. It makes us feel like hell, and makes us walk on water. It ruins us for anything else. Jodi Picoult
William Gibson quote: "And don't forget to water the fuckin' goldfish."
And don't forget to water the fuckin' goldfish. William Gibson
She gazed toward the marsh that grew thicker, deeper, greener with approaching summer. Mosquitoes whined in there, breeding in the dark water. Alligators slid through it, silent death. It was a place where snakes could slither and bogs could suck the shoe right off your foot. And it was a place, she thought, that went bright and beautiful with the twinkling of fireflies, where wildflowers thrived in the shade and the stingy light. Where an eagle could soar like a king. There was no beauty... Nora Roberts
