Famous Quotes about life

Richard Nelson quote #344 from The Island Within

Or I would be the rain itself wreathing over the island mingling in the quiet of moist places filling its pores with its saturated breaths. And I would be the wind whispering through the tangled woods running airy fingers over the islands face tingling in the chill of concealed places sighing secrets in the dawn. And I would be the light flinging over the island covering it with flash and shadow shining on rocks and pools softening to a touch in the glow of dusk. If I were the rain and wind and light I would encircle the island like the sky surrounding earth flood through it like a heart driven pulse shine from inside it like a star in flames burn away to blackness in the closed eyes of its night. There are so many ways I could love this island if I were the rain.

Jarod Kintz quote #160 from We Had A #Dream About You

I had a dream about you. We got into an argument over the toilet seat. Down up down up down up we each thought we were right. Finally being a natural diplomat I suggested we compromise and leave the toilet seat halfway between down and up. You called me an idiot and I said Thats precisely why the majority of the population voted me into public office.

Fernando Pessoa quote #111 from The Book of Disquiet

I had come from wondrous lands from landscapes more enchanting than life but only to myself did I ever mention these lands and I said nothing about the landscapes which I saw in dreams. My feet stepped like theirs over the floorboards and the flagstones but my heart was far away even if it beat close by false master of an estranged and exiled body.

Joan Lindsay quote #60 from The Secret of Hanging Rock

But one day she handed me some more letters from people who had been researching fruitlessly through old newspapers hoping to find the real events. I remarked that it was sad they wasted so much time. Yes said Joan - and then absently but something did happen. Whether the something happened in the newspapers in some anecdote she has heard or in her imaginations interconnections with some other world or time I had no idea- and I knew better than to ask.
