Winding Quotes (page 48)

Robert A. Heinlein quote: "Once a man gets a reputation as a liar, he might as well be..."
Once a man gets a reputation as a liar, he might as well be struck dumb, for people do not listen to the wind. Robert A. Heinlein
If you think it long and mad the wind of banners that passes through my life. And you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots. Remember. That on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms. And my roots will set off to seek another land Pablo Neruda
The wind sounds like a silver wire, And from beyond the noon a fire. Is pour'd upon the hills, and nigher. The skies stoop down in their desire; And, isled in sudden seas of light, My heart, pierced thro' with fierce delight, Bursts into blossom in his sight. Alfred Lord Tennyson
The mind in creation is as a fading coal, which some invisible influence, like an inconstant wind, awakens to transitory brightness; this power arises from within...could this influence be durable in its original purity and force, it is impossible to predict the greatness of the result; but when composition begins, inspiration is already on the decline; and the most glorious poetry that has been communicated to the world is probably a feeble shadow of the original conceptions of the poet. Percy Bysshe Shelley
Anne Lamott quote: "butterflies were wind energy made visible."
butterflies were wind energy made visible. Anne Lamott
He had never liked October. Ever since he had first lay in the autumn leaves before his grandmother's house many years ago and heard the wind and saw the empty trees. It had made him cry, without a reason. And a little of that sadness returned each year to him. It always went away with spring. But, it was a little different tonight. There was a feeling of autumn coming to last a million years. There would be no spring. ("The October Game") Ray Bradbury
...And death shall have no dominion. Under the windings of the sea they living long shall not die windily; Twisting on racks when sinews gave way, strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break; Faith in their hands shall snap in two, and the unicorn evils run them through; split all ends up they shan't crack; And death shall have no dominion... Dylan Thomas
When thou are not pleased, beloved, Then my heart is sad and darkened, As the shining river darkens. When the clouds drop shadows on it! When thou smilest, my beloved, Then my troubled heart is brightened, As in sunshine gleam the ripples. That the cold wind makes in rivers. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The wing of the corn beetle affects the direction of the wind, the way the sand drifts, the way the light reflects into the eye of man beholding his reality. All is part of totality, and in this totality man finds his hozro, his way of walking in harmony, with beauty all around him. Tony Hillerman
I arise from dreams of thee. In the first sweet sleep of night, When the winds are breathing low, And the stars are shining bright. Percy Bysshe Shelley
To destroy abuses is not enough; Habits must also be changed. The windmill has gone, but the wind is still there."~old man G--- to Monseigneur Bienvenu Myriel Victor Hugo
When love exists, nothing else matters, not life’s predicaments, not the fury of the years, not a physical winding down or scarcity of opportunity. Isabel Allende
When the fiddle had stopped singing Laura called out softly, "What are days of auld lang syne, Pa?" "They are the days of a long time ago, Laura," Pa said. "Go to sleep, now." But Laura lay awake a little while, listening to Pa's fiddle softly playing and to the lonely sound of the wind in the Big Woods,… She was glad that the cozy house, and Pa and Ma and the firelight and the music, were now. They could not be forgotten, she thought, because now is now. It can never be a long time ago. Laura Ingalls Wilder
Christina G. Rossetti quote: "And all the winds go sighing, For sweet things dying"
And all the winds go sighing, For sweet things dying Christina G. Rossetti
I am made to think, not for the first time, that in my writing I have plunged ahead-head-on, heedlessly one might say-or 'fearlessly'- into my own future: this time of utter raw anguished loss. Though I may have had, since adolescence, a kind of intellectual/literary precocity, I had not experienced much; nor would I experience much until I was well into middle age-the illnesses and deaths of my parents, this unexpected death of my husband. We play at paste till qualified for pearl says... Joyce Carol Oates
