Somebody once asked me where I come up with my stuff. I replied, Who knows? Where does yellow snow come from? It's just a gift from God I guess. - Jarod Kintz I wouldn't really know too much about pressure. I stay away from it like snow in the Sahara. That reminds me, isn't it funny how an adage might get lost in cultural translation? For instance, take the saying, "Don't eat yellow snow." Well, try telling that to a Bedouin who's never left the desert and has never seen pictures of other climates. You might have to rephrase it to, "Never eat yellow sand," which is sort of silly. - Jarod Kintz I think we should model parts of the English language after the Inuits, who have 52 words for snow. Why don't we have 52 words for love? Instead, I have to rely on metaphors like, Her love was as pure as yellow snow. - Jarod Kintz Don't eat the yellow snow. - Frank Zappa

Fairy tales thrive on black and white. In life, there's only grey no bad guys, no good guys. You could be the Cheshire cat, Snow White, a troll pr a pastry-making witch whose diet consists only of little kids, but you'll always be you. - Arnold Arre Dan keeps telling Snow White that "Christmas is coming!" How can he be killed most easily? With the fewest stains? - Donald Barthelme The moral of Snow White is never eat apples. - Lemony Snicket For some stories, it's easy. The moral of 'The Three Bears,' for instance, is Never break into someone else's house.' The moral of 'Snow White' is 'Never eat apples.' The moral of World War I is 'Never assassinate Archduke Ferdinand. - Lemony Snicket The evil queen was stupid to play Snow White's game. There's an age where a woman has to move on to another kind of power. Money, for example. Or a gun. - Chuck Palahniuk Gaea?" Leo shook his head. "Isn't that Mother...

Cooking is like snow skiing: If you don't fall at least 10 times, then you're not skiing hard enough. - Guy Fieri You are going to love the sports here. Snow skiing and water-skiing and rock climbing and all kinds of extreme sports. I give you full permission to hurl yourself off stuff. - Cynthia Hand

As a kid, his favorite toy had been a snow globe, that held a small town of gingerbread buildings and peppermint streets. He'd wanted so badly to live there that one day he'd smashed the glass ball - only to find out that the houses were made of plaster, the candy stripes painted on. - Jodi Picoult Snow flurries began to fall and they swirled around people's legs like house cats. It was magical, this snow globe world. - Sarah Addison Allen In his head Beckett put the two of them in a big snow globe with glitter that he could shake when he wanted them to fucking sparkle together. Perfect in their condo with a dog and a kid and glitter. - Debra Anastasia Free the snow globes! - Libba Bray What exactly did you find in Atlanta?" Frank unzipped his backpack and started bringing out souvenirs. "Some peach preserves. A couple of T-shirts. A snow globe. And, um, these not-really-Chinese handcuffs." Annabeth forced herself to stay calm. "How about you start ...

His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead. - James Joyce His beauty did not blaze like Will's did in fierce colors and repressed fire, but it had its own muted perfection, the loveliness of snow falling against a silver gray sky. - Cassandra Clare Somewhere in the far north of Canada there wuld be snow, falling soundlessly overy the Beaufort Sea, falling over the Artic without a soul to see it. What kind of weather was that, Samson wondered, and how was one to use this information except as proof that the world was too much to bear? - Nicole Krauss The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone. She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night. But her eyes were still clear and unwearied, and she still moved like a shadow on the sea. ...

Wait a minute, Juanita. Make up your mind. This Snow Crash thingis it a virus, a drug, or a religion?" Juanita shrugs. "What's the difference? - Neal Stephenson This Snow Crash thing--is it a virus, a drug, or a religion?" Juanita shrugs. "What's the difference? - Neal Stephenson Never been here before. It's like something on the top floor of a luxury high-rise casino in Atlantic City, where they put semi-retarded adults from South Philly after they've blundered into the mega jackpot Hiro Protagonist - Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson

I know my family and I would always go up to the mountains just for fun. We always skied. Then, all of a sudden, my brother started snow boarding. Older brother thing, I had to do what he was doing. So I started snow boarding. - Shaun White

Jump into an open grave? What kind of idiot are you?" Butters replied. "I might as well put on a red shirt and volunteer for the away team. There's snow and ice and slippery mud down there. That's like asking for an ironically broken neck. - Jim Butcher In a dry wind like this, snow and ice can pass directly into the air as a gas without having first melted to water. This process is called sublimation; tonight the snow in the yard and the ice in the creek sublime. - Annie Dillard Some miles to the North, a ring of mountains rose out of the clouds. The peaks were clad in snow and ice, and together they looked like an ancient, jagged crown resting atop the layers of mist. The eastward-facing scarps shone brilliantly in the light of the morning sun, while long blue shadows cloaked the western sides and stretched dwindling into the distance, tenebrous daggers upon the billowy, snow-white plain. - Christopher Paolini

I remember wishing there was snow in L.A. And how jealous we used to get of those Christmas specials with kids playing in the snow. - Ice Cube Do you remember a scene with Ryan and Ali playing in the snow? Well, that was improvised. - Arthur Hiller

When I came to you out of all that dust and heat and toil, I positively smelt violets at once. But not the sweet violet - you know, that early dark violet that smells of melting snow and spring grass. - Leo Tolstoy before the gate -- my walking stick's made a river of melting snow - Kobayashi Issa The sky was white but deteriorating fast. As always, it was becoming an enormous drop sheet. Blood was bleeding through, and in patches, the clouds were dirty, like footprints in melting snow. Footprints? you ask. Well, I wonder whose those could be. - Markus Zusak Be like melting snow -- wash yourself of yourself. - Rumi

Jon Snow: I'm not afraid to die. Mormont: Nor life, I hope. - George R R Martin --"You're mine," she whispered. "Mine, as I'm yours. And if we die, we die. All men must die, Jon Snow. But first, we'll live." -- Ygritte - George R R Martin Tell Robb that I'm going to command the Night's Watch and keep him safe, so he might as well take up needlework with the girls and have Mikken melt down his sword for horseshoes. - Jon Snow - George R R Martin There were timesnot many, but a fewwhen Jon Snow was glad he was a bastard. - George R R Martin Sometimes ther is no happy choice, Sam, only one less grievous than the others. (Jon Snow) - George R R Martin Bastard children were born from lust and lies, men said; their nature was wanton and treacherous. Jon Snow - George R R Martin Kill the boy, Jon Snow. Winter is almost upon us. Kill the boy and let the man be born. - George R R Martin She yearned to see her mother again, and Robb and Bran a...

After a heavy snowfall one night in early December the snow formed a thick quilt from which the old man's face emerged like a sleeping child's above an eiderdown. Jim told himself that he never moved because he was warm under the snow. - J G Ballard My friend, I am going to tell you the story of my life, as you wish; and if it were only the story of my life I think I would not tell it; for what is one man that he should make much of his winters, even when they bend him like a heavy snow? - Black Elk Minnesotans who bought scenic art usually avoided winter scenes. Hannah didn't find that surprising. Minnesota winters were long. Why would they want to buy a painting that would constantly remind them of the bone-chilling cold, the heavy snow that had to be shoveled, and the necessity of dressing up in survival gear to do nothing more than take out the garbage? - Joanne Fluke If you should ever be blessed to be far enough from the cacophony of civilization when a heavy snow...

I see all of us reading ourselves away from ourselves, straining in circles of light to find more light until the line of words becomes a trail of crumbs that we follow across a page of fresh snow.. - Billy Collins I love this place; I love mountains and big skies and forests. And the weather is still supremely beautiful even though the lower peaks are powdered with fresh snow. But Heavens! What sun. It never has an ending. I am basking at this minute - half past four - too hot without a hat, & the sky is that transparent blue only to be seen in autumn - the forest trees steeped in light. - Katherine Mansfield

The first snow is like the first love. Do you remember your first snow? - Lara Biyuts Small, red, and upright he waited, gripping his new bookbag tight in one hand and touching a lucky penny inside his coat pocket with the other, while the first snows of winter floated down on his eyelashes and covered the branches around him and silenced all trace of the world. - Anne Carson The first snowball I froze was put in my mother's deep freeze when I was in my early 20s. - Andy Goldsworthy This is my first snow at Smith. It is like any other snow, but from a different window, and there lies the singular charm of it. - Sylvia Plath A wet autumn morning, a garbage truck clattering down the street. The first snowfall of the season, blossom sized flakes falling languidly and melting on teh ground, a premature snow fall delicate as lace, rapidly melting. - Joyce Carol Oates He brewed his tea in a blue china pot, poured it into a chipped white cup with forget-me-nots on the handle, and dr...

Peter glances out at the falling snow. Oh, little man. You have brought down your house not through passion but by neglect. You who dared to think of yourself as dangerous. You are guilty not of the epic transgressions but the tiny crimes. You have failed in the most base and human of ways - you have not imagined the lives of others. - Michael Cunningham External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty. - Charles Dickens Could two live that way? Could two live under the wild rose, and explore by the pond, so that the smooth mind of each is as everywhere present to the other, and as received and as unchallenged, as falling snow? - Annie Dillard She tells her love while half asleep, In the dark hours, With half-words whispered low: As Earth stirs in her winter sleep And puts out grass and flowers...
