Sand Quotes

I’ve always been an ironic dreamer, unfaithful to my inner promises. Like a complete outsider, a casual observer of whom I thought I was, I’ve always enjoyed watching my daydreams go down in defeat. I was never convinced of what I believed in. I filled my hands with sand, called it gold, and opened them up to let it slide through. Words were my only truth. When the right words were said, all was done; the rest was the sand that had always been Picture Quote #1

Outside, the ocean was crashing, waves hitting sand, then pulling back to sea. I thought of everything being washed away, again and again. We make such messes in this life, both accidentally and on purpose. But wiping the surface clean doesn’t really make anything neater. It just masks what is below. It’s only when you really dig down deep, go underground, that you can see who you really are Picture Quote #1

You walk for days among trees and among stones. Rarely does the eye light on a thing, and then only when it has recognized that thing as the sign of another thing: a print in the sand indicates the tiger’s passage; a marsh announces a vein of water; the hibiscus flower, the end of winter. All the rest is silent and interchangeable; trees and stones are only what they are Picture Quote #1

This time of year, I live and breathe the beach. My cheeks feel raw with the wind throwing sand against them. My thighs sting from the friction of the saddle. My arms ache from holding up two thousand pounds of horse. I have forgotten what it is like to be warm and what a full night’s sleep feels like and what my name sounds like spoken instead of shouted across yards of sand. I am so, so alive Picture Quote #1

We are like children building a sand castle. We embellish it with beautiful shells, bits of driftwood, and pieces of colored glass. The castle is ours, off limits to others. We’re willing to attack if others threaten to hurt it. Yet despite all our attachment, we know that the tide will inevitably come in and sweep the sand castle away. The trick is to enjoy it fully but without clinging, and when the time comes, let it dissolve back into the sea Picture Quote #1

His heart is a desert island... The whole scope, the whole energy of his mind surround and protect him; his depths isolate him and guard him against the truth. He flatters himself that he is entirely alone there... Patience, dear lady. Perhaps, one day, he will discover some footprint on the sand... What holy and happy terror, what salutary fright, once he recognizes in that pure sign of grace that his island is mysteriously inhabited! Picture Quote #1

I am convinced that the greatest legacy we can leave our children are happy memories: those precious moments so much like pebbles on the beach that are plucked from the white sand and placed in tiny boxes that lay undisturbed on tall shelves until one day they spill out and time repeats itself, with joy and sweet sadness, in the child now an adult Picture Quote #1

He behaved like an ostrich and put his head in the sand, thereby exposing his thinking parts Picture Quote #1

He ploughs the waves, sows the sand, and hopes to gather the wind in a net, who places his hopes in the heart of a woman Picture Quote #1

What happens in the music business is that if you step out of your little spot to do something else, the sand falls right into where you stood and you’re gone, you’re history Picture Quote #1

If you’re soft and fuzzy, like our little characters, you become the skinny kid on the beach, and people in this business don’t mind kicking sand in your face Picture Quote #1

After I’ve sent my revised draft to my agent and editor, they suggest more improvement sand again, this revision phase can take anywhere from a few hours to a few months Picture Quote #1

Until they put that sand and dirt in my face I will not sit in church all day Picture Quote #1

I always say, if you keep your head in the sand, you don’t know where the kick’s coming from Picture Quote #1

It is not when he is working in his office but when he is lying idly on the sand that his soul utters, life is beautiful Picture Quote #1

Real golfers, no matter what the provocation, never strike a caddie with the driver. The sand wedge is far more effective Picture Quote #1

The sand as white as old bones, the pine trees strangely red where the sun comes down. I cannot say if it is our love, or the day, that is ending Picture Quote #1

One day, about noon, going towards my boat, I was exceedingly surprised with the print of a man’s naked foot on the shore, which was very plain to be seen on the sand Picture Quote #1

I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man. Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand Picture Quote #1

Near them, on the sand, half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, and wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, tell that its sculptor well those passions read Picture Quote #1

When with care we have raised an imaginary treasure of happiness, we find at last that the materials of the structure are frail and perishing, and the foundation itself is laid in the sand Picture Quote #1

He ploughs in sand, and sows against the wind, that hopes for constant love of woman kind Picture Quote #1

All the beaches of the world, could never amount to, nor implore the one grain of sand that I stand on, which is your love Picture Quote #1

On sand, you can never be sure of anything. An ordinary shot can take a wicked deflection at the last moment Picture Quote #1

$Fractal geometry is everywhere, even in lines drawn in the sand. It’s the cycle of life... You see fractals in plants, in flowers. Within the human lung are branches within branches Picture Quote #1$
