Orhan Pamuk quote: "Snow reminds Ka of God! But I’m not sure it would be accurate...."
Snow reminds Ka of God! But I’m not sure it would be accurate. What brings me close to God is the silence of snow. Orhan Pamuk
Technically, if a girl wants to sparkle she can put on glitter but I think the correct answer would be a smile because no one pays attention to your short when you have a nice smile on your face. Demi Lovato
It seemed to me then that to have published a book - any kind of book - would be the greatest possible happiness I could ask from life. Christopher Isherwood
But I guess the nice thing about driving a car is that the physical act of driving itself occupies a good chunk of brain cells that otherwise would be giving you trouble overloading your thinking. New scenery continually erases what came before; memory is lost, shuffled, relabeled and forgotten. Gum is chewed; buttons are pushed; windows are lowered and opened. A fast moving car is the only place where you're legally allowed to not deal with your problems. It's enforced meditation and this is... Doug Coupland
Footsteps shuffled on the stair/Under the firelight, under the brush, her hair/Spread out in fiery points/Glowed into words, then would be savagely still. T. S. Eliot
The only shame George Webber felt was that at one time in his life, for however short a period, he broke bread and sat at the same table with any man when the living warmth of friendship was not there; or that he ever traded upon the toil of his brain and the blood of his heart to get the body of a scented whore that might have been better got in a brothel for some greasy coins. This was the only shame he felt. And this shame was so great in him that he wondered if all his life thereafter... Thomas Wolfe
Mr. Mac, the most practical thing that you ever did in your life would be to shut yourself up for three months and read twelve hours a day at the annals of crime. Arthur Conan Doyle

John James Audubon quote: "The woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those..."
The woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those who sang the best. John James Audubon
If he were around this place as a professor, he could teach 'Appropriate Behavior in Classical Greek Drama,' a course that would be over before it began. Philip Roth
Am I sure that there is no mind behind our existence and no mystery anywhere in the universe? I think I am. What joy, what relief there would be, if we could declare so with complete conviction. If that were so I could wish to live for ever. How terrifying and glorious the role of man if, indeed, without guidance and without consolation he must create from his own rituals the meaning for his existence and write the rules whereby he lives. Thornton Wilder
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on an evening star? Somebody thought of it and someone believed it, and look what its done so far..."-Kermit, The Rainbow Connection Jim Henson
If you only have brains on your head you would be as good a man as any of them, and a better man than some of them. Brains are the only things worth having in this world, no matter whether one is a crow or a man. L. Frank Baum
Her face was one of a kind, a surprising variation that made observers think, Yes--that would be another very nice way for people to look. Kurt Vonnegut
