Wave Quotes - Page 29

• Frankly, the trouble with winter is, it is all backbone. It is fleshless, insensate, with neither a breast to be leaned on nor a heart to love and ache and, if need be, break, nor any kindly hand to fondle and caress like a sea-wave on a sunny shore half asleep.

  William Alfred Quayle

• I saw thee in a vision of the night Transfigured; for it seemed that on thy brows The heavens did rest with all their stars, like boughs Laden with blossoms; round thy feet the bright Green waves, like grass, ran rippling, strewn with white Star-fragments of rent petals: wasted vows, And ruined prayers I thought them, such as house In hearts that love and are not loved aright.

  A Roman and a British ensign wave
  Friendly together. So through Lud's town march,
  And in the temple of the great Jupiter
  Our peace we'll ratify, seal it with feasts.

  Ere bloody hands were washed, with such a peace.

• It's different as a guest as opposed to being a star of a series. A guest star is a whole different responsibility. It's much different than being a regular.

• Those who had been riding the upward wave decide now is the time to get out. Those who thought the increase would be forever find their illusion destroyed abruptly, and they, also, respond to the newly revealed reality by selling or trying to sell.
