Quotes: Descriptions and Similes Vividly Expressed

Quotations

A blanket of fog tucks the city in for the night.
A night so sharp and still that one could almost hear the stars twinkling.
The wind shepherding woolly flocks of clouds across the sky.
Crocuses catching lazy snowflakes in their cups.
Spring, a time when trees are turning over a new leaf.
People who think time heals all things haven't tried sitting it out in a doctor's waiting room.
As untrustworthy as a new bottle of catsup.
As optimistic as a seed catalogue.
As plain as the no's on a mother's face.
As unimaginative as a mirror.
Outside a suburban house: "Beware of the dog—he makes snap judgments".
As unpredictable as a grapefruit's squirt.
Crows pleading their caws.
Clouds towing their shadows over the pasture.

“Mehr als das Gold hat das Blei in der Welt verändert. Und mehr als das Blei in der Flinte das im Setzkasten.”

More than gold, it's lead that changed the world, and more than the lead in a gun, it was the lead in the typesetter’s (printer's) case.
