Mill Quotes

Memories must enter the bloodstream, must churn awhile through the heart’s mill, must be crushed and polished, be nearly forgotten or cling like burs to other stories before they spill forth in purple patterns, shapes of small bones and worm rot, shapes of clouds and the spaces between leaves Picture Quote #1

For the longest time I was afraid I’d have to keep on working at the factories. There was a steel mill and a pottery; if you didn’t go to college, you went to work in those places Picture Quote #1

Burnout is grist to the mill. I write every day, for most of the day, so it’s just about turning into metaphor whatever’s going on in my life, in the world, and in my head. Every nightmare, every moment of grief or joy or failure, is a moment I can convert into cash via words Picture Quote #1

The streams which would otherwise diverge to fertilize a thousand meadows, must be directed into one deep narrow channel before they can turn a mill Picture Quote #1

The celebrity mill is so active these days that actors can make careers out of being themselves, and I don’t know that I want to. I think I’m just figuring out how to make a career out of not being myself. It’s hard Picture Quote #1

Euler calculated the force of the wheels necessary to raise the water in a reservoir... My mill was carried out geometrically and could not raise a drop of water fifty yards from the reservoir. Vanity of vanities! Vanity of geometry! Picture Quote #1

A good documentary or educational film is not raw experience. The material has passed the mill of reason, it has been sifted and interpreted Picture Quote #1

All you have done is to be different from other women and you have made a little success of it. This is unforgivable sin in any society. The mere fact that you have succeed to run the mill is an insult to everyman who hasn’t succeed Picture Quote #1

Anger is a rough water; if you can canalize it into a water mill, you can benefit from it. Anything bad can be transformed into good Picture Quote #1

Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness Picture Quote #1

The era of wild apples will soon be over. I wander through old orchards of great extent, now all gone to decay, all of native fruit which for the most part went to the cider mill. But since the temperance reform and the general introduction of grafted fruit, no wild apples, such as I see everywhere in deserted pastures, and where the woods have grown up among them, are set out. I fear that he who walks over these hills a century hence will not know the pleasure of knocking off wild apples Picture Quote #1

We had grain but no mills, so I designed a special mill of wood so we could make flour Picture Quote #1
