Woodwork Quotes

When you look into the faces of these quiet creatures who don't know how to tell stories--who are mute, who can't make themselves heard, who fade into the woodwork, who only think of the perfect answer after the fact, after they're back at home, who can never think of a story that anyone else will find interesting--is there not more depth and more meaning in them? You can see every letter of every untold story swimming on their faces, and all the signs of silence, dejection, and even defeat.... Orhan Pamuk

My analysis was directed toward purely physical conditions, such as defective wiring, presence of lack of air spaces between metal flues and woodwork, etc., and the results were presented in these terms. Benjamin Whorf
I'd get into a room and disappear into the woodwork. Now the rooms are so crowded with reporters getting behind-the-scenes stories that nobody can get behind-the-scenes stories. Theodore White
I have been taking some classes in woodworking. It's really helpful just looking at a problem, and having a very tangible way in constructing it. Luke Kirby
But with woodworking, it's really sort of gratifying to be able to have an actual piece to touch, and then step back and be able to share it. Luke Kirby
