And then it gets so hot that they keep the supermarkets too cold. Hot, cold. Hot, cold. It gives me the runs. Mr. Landowsky - Janet Evanovich I tell you, Mr. Okada, a cold beer at the end of the day is the best thing life has to offer. Some choosy people say that a too cold beer doesn't taste good, but I couldn't disagree more. The first beer should be so cold you can't even taste it. The second one should be a little less chilled, but I want that first one to be like ice. I want it to be so cold my temples throb with pain. This is my own personal preference of course. - Haruki Murakami If you drive a car, I'll tax the street; if you try to sit, I'll tax your seat; if you get too cold, I'll tax the heat; if you take a walk, I'll tax your feet. - George Harrison At last Niko dropped his hands, and opened his eyes. His perfect tree illusion solidified and settled. "Very nice," said Briar with approval. "Couldn't have done better myself...

Our live experiences, fixed in aphorisms, stiffen into cold epigrams. Our heart's blood, as we write it, turns to mere dull ink. - F H Bradley If you tiptoe into cold water, you're missing out on the rush of plunging in headfirst. - Simone Elkeles Even her footsteps did not seem to belong to her. The night seized and transformed them, just as it transformed the greenhouses they passed from useful places for growing things into cold night palaces. - Penelope Farmer My parents raised me that you never ask people about their reproductive plans. "You don't know their situation," my mom would say. I considered it such an impolite question that for years I didn't even ask myself. Thirty-five turned into forty faster than McDonald's food turns into cold nonfood. - Tina Fey I was so unhealthy. I used to go to 'Cold Stone Creamery,' get a tub of Butterfinger ice cream, and eat it all before bedtime. And my fingers were permanently stained orange from C...

A sudden understanding, a pity mixed with horror, welled up in Bilbo's heart: a glimpse of endless unmarked days without light or hope of betterment, hard stone, cold fish, sneaking and whispering. All these thoughts passed in a flash of a second. He trembled. And then quite suddenly in another flash, as if lifted by a new strength and resolve, he leaped. - J R R Tolkien The idea of some kind of objectively constant, universal literary value is seductive. It feels real. It feels like a stone cold fact that In Search of Lost Time, by Marcel Proust, is better than A Shore Thing, by Snooki. And it may be; Snooki definitely has more one-star reviews on Amazon. But if literary value is real, no one seems to be able to locate it or define it very well. We're increasingly adrift in a grey void of aesthetic relativism. - Lev Grossman Im a bitch, Im a bitch Oh the bitch is back Stone cold sober as a matter of fact I can bitch, I can bitch cause Im better than you Its the way that I mo...

So fair, so cold; like a morning of pale spring still clinging to winter's chill. - J R R Tolkien He was falling between glacial walls, he didn't know how anyone could fall so far away from everyone else in the world. So far to fall, so cold all the way, so steep and dark between those morphine-coloured walls.. - Nelson Algren Why is it, little Shadowhunter, that your angels are so cold and without mercy? Why do they break that which will not obey them? - Cassandra Clare He looks out into the empty street, allowing me to sit in his car and just miss her. To miss her each time I pull in a breath of air. To miss her with a heart that feels so cold by itself, but warm when thoughts of her flow through me. - Jay Asher To miss her each time I pull in a breath of air. To miss her with a heart that feels so cold by itself, but warm when thoughts of her flow through me - Jay Asher They're so cold, these scholars! May lightning strike their food so that their mouths learn how ...

I apologize for Pam. I accidentally hit her in the head with a baseball when we were in fifth grade and knocked her out cold. She's never been right since. (Tory) - Sherrilyn Kenyon One of Beethoven's favorite dishes was macaroni and cheese. The girl I marry must be able to make good macaroni and cheese..." "How did Beethoven feel about cold cereal? - Charles M Schulz For how can one know color in perpetual green, and what good is warmth without cold to give it sweetness? - John Steinbeck I've never seen a truly great fighter get knocked onto the ropes unconscious... knocked out cold before... and I saw Roy Jones get knocked out twice in a row. - Jim Lampley We went on stage with the Jefferson Airplane, Jim started singing with Grace Slick and hugging her. Then he danced off the stage, went back into the dressing room and passed out cold. - Ray Manzarek Life's not linear at all. It happens in lighting flashes. So fast you don't see those lay-you-out ...

Woo! It's so cold, I think we may be twin sisters now, he said through rattling teeth. - Chris Colfer 20 minutes later: a girl on Himmel Street. She looks up. She speaks in whisper. 'The sky is soft today, Max. The clouds are so soft and sad, and...' She looks away and crosses her arms. She thinks of her papa going to war and grabs her jacket at each side of her body. 'And it's cold, Max. It's so cold... - Markus Zusak

That had to be the craziest thing he'd heard. At some point they must've looked around and said, "Hey, what do we have a shitload of?" "Mud! It's cold and wet. I know, let's burn it!" "Well, it ain't good for nothing else." What the hell? He supposed if fish could have legs, then mud could burn. Spider or nor spider, if their cats started flying, he would be out of here like a rocket. - Ilona Andrews You can't worry if it's cold; you can't worry if it's hot; you only worry if you get sick. Because then if you don't get well, you die. - Joaquin Andujar Here's something else to think about: calling when you say you're going to is the very first brick in the house you are building of love and trust. If he can't lay this one stupid brick down, you ain't never gonna have a house baby, and it's cold outside. - Greg Behrendt The winter was blasting its cold winds of dire portent into the tender face o...

Here's something else to think about: calling when you say you're going to is the very first brick in the house you are building of love and trust. If he can't lay this one stupid brick down, you ain't never gonna have a house baby, and it's cold outside. - Greg Behrendt Hey," he said. "Hi." Oh, damn. It was awkward. "What're you doing?" "Shearing a sheep. It's cold outside, and I need a new hat." He paused. "You're joking, right?" "Yes, Marshall." I gnawed on my fingers some more and sunk back in my chair. - Chanelle Gray

It was so cold today that I saw a dog chasing a cat, and the dog was walking. - Mickey Rivers It was so cold I almost got married. - Shelley Winters

Bless your soul, You've got your head in the clouds, You made a fool out of me, And, boy, you're bringing me down, You made my heart melt, Yet I'm cold to the core, But rumour has it I'm the one you're leaving her for. - Adele Esteem him! Like him! Cold-hearted Elinor! Oh! worse than cold-hearted! Ashamed of being otherwise. Use those words again, and I will leave the room this moment. - Jane Austen The world had made him extravagant and vain - Extravagance and vanity had made him cold-hearted and selfish. Vanity, while seeking its own guilty triumph at the expense of another, had involved him in a real attachment, which extravagance, or at least its offspring, necessity, had required to be sacrificed. Each faulty propensity in leading him to evil, had led him likewise to punishment. - Jane Austen I keep reading that I'm cold. But I'm not, I'm shy. And I play a lot of women of fire and sexuality like an animal - so I'm cold on one side and fiery ...

Happiness could be like a head cold. Or cholera. Catching. - Julia Quinn Why is it that men who can go through severe accidents, air raids, and any other major crisis always seems to think that they are at death's door when they have a simple head cold? - Shirley Booth Sadness is more or less like a head cold - with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer. - Barbara Kingsolver There is no point treating a depressed person as though she were just feeling sad, saying, 'There now, hang on, you'll get over it.' Sadness is more or less like a head cold- with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer. - Barbara Kingsolver I submit that Zooey's face was close to being a wholly beautiful face. As such, it was of course vulnerable to the same variety of glibly undaunted and usually specious evaluations that any legitimate art object is. I think it just remains to be said that any one of a hundred everyday menaces a car accident, a head cold, a lie before br...

Out of my way, Dark-Hunter, or I'll kill her. (Daimon) You know, you should have stayed in your bolt-hole one more day. Tonight's Buffy night, and it's a whole new episode, too. Have you any idea how angry it makes me that I have to come out here in the freezing cold to slay you when I could be at home all toasty warm, watching Sarah Michelle Gellar kick ass in a halter top? (Wulf) - Sherrilyn Kenyon I'm currently between assignments and was looking for a change. I heard there was work in Nashville and it seemed like a good place to start over. So here I am stuck in the freezing cold with a...serial killer. Has the making for a great horror movie, huh? (Leta) - Sherrilyn Kenyon If you really think there's a Santa, why don't you sit on the front steps all night in the freezing cold and see if he climbs down any chimneys tonight. Good luck. And since we're a family that isn't lucky enough to have a chimney, how would Santa get into our house? Does he br...

Happiness in a tablet. This is our world. Prozac. Daxil. Xanax. Billions are spent to advertise such drugs. And billions are spent purchasing them. You don't even need a specific trauma, just 'general depression' is enough, or anxiety, as if sadness is as treatable as the common cold. - Mitch Albom This is an industry that doesn't have the common cold... It has cholera. - Emanuel Azenberg The Four Horsemen whose Ride presages the end of the world are known to be Death, War, Famine, and Pestilence. But even less significant events have their own Horsemen. For example, the Four Horsemen of the Common Cold are Sniffles, Chesty, Nostril, and Lack of Tissues; the Four Horsemen whose appearance foreshadows any public holiday are Storm, Gales, Sleet, and Contra-flow. - Terry Pratchett Pressure and stress is the common cold of the psyche. - Andrew Denton The sheer quantity of brain power that hurled itself voluntarily and quixotically into the search for new baseball knowl...

To the dismay of those that stood by, about the body of Saruman a grey mist gathered, and rising very slowly to a great height like smoke from a fire, as a pale shrouded figure it loomed over the Hill. For a moment it wavered, looking to the West; but out of the West came a cold wind, and it bent away, and with a sigh dissolved into nothing. - J R R Tolkien The winter was blasting its cold winds of dire portent into the tender face of springtime. - Stefano Benni So I stared out at that cold window, watching my breath collect on the glass, trying not to think about my life after the thaw. - Ally Carter And then, despite everything, I smiled and looked at the note and knew that spring would come it always does. so I stared out that cold window, watching my breath collect on the glass, trying not to think about my life after the thaw. - Ally Carter A cold wind was blowing from the north, and it made the trees rustle like living things. - George R R Martin When thou are not pleased, ...

Here's what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial. And like so many addicts about to face cold turkey, out leaders are now committing violent crimes to get what little is left of what we're hooked on - Kurt Vonnegut But there is no withdrawal, but with tobacco there is terrible withdrawal, it is almost impossible for a lot of people. I did , I went cold turkey, they never had any patches in those days but grass was not difficult, alcohol not difficult, but tobacco - oh my god. - Larry Hagman He either had to stop making me flustered as hell, or I had to quit the Cap'n Crunch. Could a grown man go cold turkey off the Cap'n? - Sloan Parker

Alltami (n.) The ancient art of being able to balance the hot and cold shower taps. - Douglas Adams So you're saying you do want to sleep with me?" "Given the fact that I just took my millionth cold shower since I've moved in here and I have to constantly recite the Gettysburg Address and The Bill of Rights in my head when I'm around you? Yeah, I'd say so. Why, you want me, too? - Chelsea M Cameron The reason is that even in a fantasy there is nothing even remotely erotic about a toilet bowl. In fact, considered as an accoutrement to a sexual encounter, a toilet bowl is a real cold shower. - Helen Dewitt Dead or not, you must be bored with women telling you how you look like the hottest, most exotic wet dream they've ever had. No wonder the thought of you, grapes, and some scented massage oils crossed my mind and if you drop that towel again, I'm going to need a cold shower. - Jeaniene Frost My dear Reaper," Vlad said, still laughing. 'D...

Wait. Let me guess. You're giving me the cold shoulder, right?" With that, she sighed. "Shouldn't you be with your friends, staring at yourselves in the mirror?" He laughed. "That's funny. I'll have to remember that." "I'm not being funny. I'm being serious." "Oh, because we're so good-looking - Nicholas Sparks Wait, I want more green. I hope I did not imply I only wanted your colors. We can't turn a cold shoulder to green, and blue, and purple, for the sake of all ordered things, how can you dismiss purple? Celi, call Nom back and tell him of my need for purple! - Shannon Hale that arctic blast you're feeling? it's the chill coming off my cold shoulder - Michele Jaffe That's the difference between golf and many other sports. You go to some other sporting events, they just leave you or give you the cold shoulder and move on. - Bernhard Langer at least i'm talkng to myself. instead of giving mys...

Here's something else to think about: calling when you say you're going to is the very first brick in the house you are building of love and trust. If he can't lay this one stupid brick down, you ain't never gonna have a house baby, and it's cold outside. - Greg Behrendt He remembered waking up once, listening to the wind, thinking of all the dark and rushing cold outside and all the warmth of this bed, filled with their peaceful heat under two quilts, and wishing it could be like this forever. - Stephen King Hey," he said. "Hi." Oh, damn. It was awkward. "What're you doing?" "Shearing a sheep. It's cold outside, and I need a new hat." He paused. "You're joking, right?" "Yes, Marshall." I gnawed on my fingers some more and sunk back in my chair. - Chanelle Gray He kissed me as if we had all the time in the world, as if it weren't cold outside, as if winter weren't coming, or the dawn, or a...

Here's something else to think about: calling when you say you're going to is the very first brick in the house you are building of love and trust. If he can't lay this one stupid brick down, you ain't never gonna have a house baby, and it's cold outside. - Greg Behrendt The rain set early in tonight, The sullen wind was soon awake, It tore the elm-tops down for spite, And did its best to vex the lake: I listened with heart fit to break. When glided in Porphyria; straight She shut the cold out and the storm, And kneeled and made the cheerless grate Blaze up and all the cottage warm; - Robert Browning I mean I know it's cold out here and not everybody has a sleeping bag. But when you grit your teeth and stick it out until dawn! - Suzanne Collins Not daring to flee since my general location has just been broadcast to any killer who cares. I mean, I know it's cold out here and not everybody has a sleeping bag. - Suzanne Collins He remembered waking up once...

You have to be very deep to be dead, he thought, and I'm not. He began to have some concept of forever, and his mind shivered as his body had when he had wakened in the cold nights and thrust his hands between his thighs to keep warm. It will be a long night, he thought. - Peter S Beagle There is no stillness like the quiet of the first cold nights in the fall. - Carson Mccullers In this manner had fought forgotten ancestors. They quickened the old life within him, the old tricks which they had stamped into the heredity of the breed were his tricks... And when, on the still cold nights, he pointed his nose at a star and howled long and wolflike, it was his ancestors, dead and dust, pointing nose at star and howling down through the centuries and through him. - Jack London
