Quote for Today: Jenny B. Jones
It was almost painful to watch, that kite of mine. Tethered to the string in my hand. Dancing in the sky all alone. My breath caught in my throat, my pulse beating wild and crazy on my chest. My heart soaring with every dip and turn of the kite, as if I were flying along, … Continue reading Quote for Today: Jenny B. Jones
Quote for Today: Jonathan Renshaw
First, the wind would rumble in the distance like an approaching river, then he would see grass bend, pressed by a great invisible hand. The dull rumble would rise in pitch to a swishing, lashing exultation, causing stalks to lie flat against the ground while the tougher branches of shrubs held themselves up and … Continue reading Quote for Today: Jonathan Renshaw
Quote for Today: Marilynne Robinson
Every spirit passing through the world fingers the tangible and mars the mutable and finally has come to look and not to buy. So shoes are worn and hassocks are sat upon and finally everything is left where it was and the spirit passes on, just as the wind in the orchard picks up the … Continue reading Quote for Today: Marilynne Robinson
Quote for Today: J.R.R. Tolkien
“Farewell," they cried, "Wherever you fare till your eyries receive you at the journey's end!" That is the polite thing to say among eagles.

Tolkien, The Hobbit, Or, There and Back Again … Continue reading Quote for Today: J.R.R. Tolkien
Quote for Today: Clarissa Pinkola Estés

She may have to plant something, pull things out of the ground or put them into the ground. … Continue reading Quote for Today: Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Quote for Today: Charlotte Eriksson
You become a house where the wind blows straight through, because no one bothers the crack in the window or lock on the door, and you’re the house where people come and go as they please, because you’re simply too unimpressed to care. You let people in who you really shouldn’t let in, and … Continue reading Quote for Today: Charlotte Eriksson
Quote for Today: L.M. Montogomery
I hear the Wind Woman running with soft, soft footsteps over the hill. I shall always think of the wind as a personality. She is a shrew when she blows from the north -- a lonely seeker when she blows from the east -- a laughing girl when she comes from the west -- and … Continue reading Quote for Today: L.M. Montogomery
Quote for Today: Michael Shea
The wind that night made him feel his chronic longing. The wind, trying to stampede the trees, was roaring for a grand, universal departure to another solar system, a better deal, and the grass struggled to join the rootless giant of the air. All that lives strives to fly, to master time. All tribes … Continue reading Quote for Today: Michael Shea
Quote for Today: Frances Hodgson Burnett
“Listen to th’ wind wutherin’ round the house,” she said. “You could bare stand up on the moor if you was out on it tonight.” Mary did not know what “wutherin’” meant until she listened, and then she understood. It must mean that hollow shuddering sort of roar which rushed round and round the house … Continue reading Quote for Today: Frances Hodgson Burnett
