You have the best wild west rancher cowboy name in history - Kristen Ashley It's been a great place to get in touch with what people are really thinking. And to make contact with readers and other writers. Egalitarian, wide open, like the Wild West! - Greg Bear It was because of my great interest in the West, and my belief that its development would be assisted by the interest I could awaken in others, that I decided to bring the West to the East through the medium of the Wild West Show. - Buffalo Bill Hi," Caitlyn said. "Hello." "I'm Caitlyn." Mathilde grinned. "The Wild West girl who rode bareback! Yes, I know. The whole school knows! Can you shoot a gun, too?" Caitlyn's cheeks heated in embarrassment. "Urg," she gurgled, "no. - Lisa Cach There is no winning or losing, but rather the value is in the experience of imagining yourself as a character in whatever genre you're involved in, whether it's a fantasy gam...

Being neurotic seemed to e a kid of wild card, an all-purpose explanation. - Renata Adler One wild card was yet to be played. - Markus Zusak Love is the one wild card. - Taylor Swift Ah, yes, the departmental shrink. And in the silence that followed, he knew everyone was waiting for him to groan, but he wasn't a Lethal Weapon wild card, damn it. Yeah. For example, he couldn't dislocate his shoulder, he didn't live on the beach with a dog, and he wasn't rocking a death wish. You're welcome. - J R Ward

Wild geese fly south, creaking like anguished hinges; along the riverbank the candles of the sumacs burn dull red. It's the first week of October. Season of woolen garments taken out of mothballs; of nocturnal mists and dew and slippery front steps, and late-blooming slugs; of snapdragons having one last fling; of those frilly ornamental pink-and-purple cabbages that never used to exist, but are all over everywhere now. - Margaret Atwood If you feel the urge, don't be afraid to go on a wild goose chase. What do you think wild geese are for anyway? - Will Rogers I dropped my hoe and ran into the house and started to write this poem, ' End of Summer .' It began as a celebration of wild geese. Eventually the geese flew out of the poem, but I like to think they left behind the sound of their beating wings. - Stanley Kunitz We procured from an Indian a weasel perfectly white except the extremity of the tail which was black: great numbers of wild geese are passing to the ...

Emotions are like wild horses - Paulo Coelho Emotions were like wild horses and it required wisdom to be able to control them. - Paulo Coelho Adam Levine and I remade the Rolling Stones' classic Wild Horses, and it is right up my alley, that whole style. It has a style of its own but still stays very true to the classic arrangement, and I love it. - Alicia Keys I wondered what I'd end up looking like once I bloomed. I couldn't even guess. If I had to be stuck in my own skinny, gawky, coltish body forever... well. It probably wouldn't be so bad. I wouldn't mind a little more in the chest, though. But wild horses wouldn't drag that out of me. Ever. - Lilith Saintcrow When I was in my twenties, it felt like I was riding wild horses, and I was hoping I didn't go over a cliff. - Chaka Khan They watched storms out there so distant they could not be heard, the silent lightning flaring sheetwise and the thin black spine of the mountain chain fluttering and suc...

... the twin concepts of nihilism and the antihero have had it. What began with The Wild One and James "nobody understands me" Dean, ran with increasing vehement negativism up through the Stones and Velvets and Iggy... [I]t may be time, in spite of all indications to the contrary from the exterior society, to begin thinking in terms of heroes again, of love instead of hate, of energy instead of violence, of strength instead of cruelty, of action instead of reaction. - Lester Bangs See I'm the reckless and wild one who saves him from being boring. It's why we're perfect for each other. We balance. - Madame Selena - Sherrilyn Kenyon It is the tame elephants who enjoy capturing the wild ones. - George Bernard Shaw She is not for you. She is a wild one--wild, without shame. This is not a bride for a rabbi. - Bernard Malamud One's very own free, unfettered desire, one's own whim, no matter how wild, one's own fantasy, even though sometimes roused to th...

It is the tame elephants who enjoy capturing the wild ones. - George Bernard Shaw One's very own free, unfettered desire, one's own whim, no matter how wild, one's own fantasy, even though sometimes roused to the point of madness-all this constitutes precisely that previously omitted, most advantageous advantage which isn't included under any classification and because of which all systems and theories are constantly smashed to smithereens. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky One's own free and unfettered volition, one's own caprice, however wild, one's own fancy, inflamed sometimes to the point of madness - that is the one best and greatest good, which is never taken into consideration because it cannot fit into any classification and the omission of which sends all systems and theories to the devil. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky She had wandered, without rule or guidance, into a moral wilderness. Her intellect and heart had their home, as it were, in desert places, where she ...

Come on, Megeara. Walk on the wild side with me. Let's get naked and ruin Solin's upholstery. It serves two purposes. We're happy and he's pissed. (Arik) - Sherrilyn Kenyon I'm like the master. I like to walk on the wild side." It took me a moment to realize what he meant. "I am not the wild side," I told him flatly. "I'm about as far from the wild side as it's possible to get. - Karen Chance There's a very wild side to me, but it's calming down. - Alyson Hannigan I'm turning over a new leaf." He chuckled. The tip of his finger caught her under her chin, and it was enough to still all her movements. "Tell you what. If you need help with that, if you need someone to shut you up, or even if you just need to walk on the wild side every now and then... I'm your guy. - Cherrie Lynn When I was a kid, my first favorite song was probably Lou Reed's 'Walk on the Wild Side.' - Michael Rapaport Take a walk...

While I was writing Wild Swans I thought the famine was the result of economic mismanagement but during the research I realised that it was something more sinister. - Jung Chang Looking back few friends had we but I've got him and he's got me. And when the golden minute comes when we no longer wake to smell the river where the wild swans sailed the orchard where the blossoms fell, we'll smile a little thinkin' of that. Me in my shirt-tails, him with his whiskers me and the cat. - Rod Mckuen FRANK: Do you know Yeats? RITA: The wine lodge? FRANK: No, WB Yeats, the poet. RITA: No. FRANK: Well, in his poem 'The Wild Swans At Coole',Yeats rhymes the word "swan" with the word "stone". You see? That's an example of assonance. RITA: Yeah, means getting the rhyme wrong. - Willy Russell

But who knows what she spoke to the darkness, alone, in the bitter watches of the night, when all her life seemed shrinking, and the walls of her bower closing in about her, a hutch to trammel some wild thing in? (Aragorn about Eowyn, in the Houses of Healing) - J R R Tolkien I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself. - David Herbert Lawrence I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief... For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. - Wendell Berry Our eyelashes brushed like they would weave together by themselves, turning us into one wild thing. I say, I think I missed you before I met you even. - Francesca Lia Block Out here the wild things are healthy, the old trees whose roots find sustenance far below the ill-used layer of topsoil, the occasional rosebush gone to green thicket and thorns, the unstoppable kudzu. It is as if they ...

I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief... For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. - Wendell Berry Out here the wild things are healthy, the old trees whose roots find sustenance far below the ill-used layer of topsoil, the occasional rosebush gone to green thicket and thorns, the unstoppable kudzu. It is as if they have decided to take back the land for their own. - Poppy Z Brite Always gotta keep busy or the voices start telling me to do wild things. - Steve Brown We are not idealized wild things. We are imperfect mortal beings, aware of that mortality even as we push it away, failed by our very complication, so wired that when we mourn our losses we also mourn, for better or for worse, ourselves. As we were. As we are no longer. As we will one day not be at all. - Joan Didion spring is super in the supermarkets and the strawberries prance and glow never mind that they're all kinda tart and tasteless as stra...

She would follow, her dream of love, the dictates of her heart that told her he was her all in all, the only man in all the world for her for love was the master guide. Come what might she would be wild, untrammelled, free. - James Joyce What care I if it be "wild and improbable" and "lacking in literary art"? I refuse to be any longer hampered by such canons of criticism. The one essential thing I demand of a book is that it should interest me. If it does, I forgive it every other fault. - L M Montgomery Then as I got older, I always gravitated towards the hard stuff, Born To Be Wild, then Black Sabbath. - Jello Biafra Life can be wildly tragic at times, and I've had my share. But whatever happens to you, you have to keep a slightly comic addiude. In the final analysis, you have got not to forget to laugh. - Katharine Hepburn Oh, I can picture myself rattling along Route 66 on that thing, headphones on, singing along to ZZ Top's 'Sharp Dressed Man...

Then as I got older, I always gravitated towards the hard stuff, Born To Be Wild, then Black Sabbath. - Jello Biafra Oh, I can picture myself rattling along Route 66 on that thing, headphones on, singing along to ZZ Top's 'Sharp Dressed Man' or the opening line from 'Born to be Wild' by Steppenwolf - 'Get your motor running...' The trike brings out that in all of us, which is no bad thing. Forget Viagra, get yourself a trike! - Billy Connolly Born to be wild; born to be free; nobody owns you; you are, a romantic tree. - Santosh Kalwar

Just so you know Labrodor retrivers do not howl.Begals Howl.Wolves howl. Labs do not howl, at lestnot well. Marley attempted twice to howl, both times in answer to a passing police siren, tossing back his head, forming his mouth into an O shape, and letting loose the most pathetic sound Ihave ever heard, more like gargling than answering the call of the wild. Butnow,no question about it he was howling. - John Grogan He did not playfully shake him, as was his wont, or murmur soft love curses; but he whispered in his ear.'As you love me, Buck. As you love me,' was what he whispered. --Call of the Wild - Jack London

Oh no, hon we were too late. Tiger-boy done pissed down the wrong honey tree and got all the bees, or in this case, bears, going wild. (Fury) - Sherrilyn Kenyon Wouldn't it be dreadful if some day in our own world, at home, men start going wild inside, like the animals here, and still look like men, so that you'd never know which were which. - C S Lewis It was in San Diego and I was onstage and couldn't remember how to play the guitar properly. I was in terrible pain and my nervous system was just going wild, like somebody had just run a car over me. - Andy Partridge Women, fire in their crotch, won't burn out, begin by fighting off pricks, end by going wild hunting for one that still works. - John Updike It wasn't being an alcoholic - it was going wild. It happened when I got famous. It was like having my teens in my early thirties: blotting out your life, not having to think about anything. - Julie Walters

All our hopes now lie with two little hobbits, somewhere in the wilderness - J R R Tolkien By the time she got there, she knew Blake had been right. She sounded like a herd of buffalo in the wild. - Debra Anastasia Listening to him play was like discovering an eagle in the wild. It was tumblingly bewitching. She could feel and hear genius she knew it. - Debra Anastasia We all take such pains to over-educate ourselves. In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place. The thoroughly well-informed man - that is the modern ideal. And the mind of the thoroughly well-informed man is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust, with everything priced above its proper value. - Oscar Wilde In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our plac...

You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself. - Alan Alda The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. - Alan Alda And I'm going to tell the truth: I didn't like that Sean Penn movie Into the Wild so much. Yes! I know it was critically acclaimed. I know it won all these awards! It's very sad that a boy is dead and all. But I thought the movie Enchanted, with the singing princess and the chipmunk and the people dancing in Central Park, was cuter. So there! - Meg Cabot Communing with God is communing with our own hearts, our own best selves, not with something foreign and accidental. Saints and devotees have gone into the wilderness to find God; of course they took God with them, and the silence and detachment enabled them to hear the still, small ...

Seth threw me a mischievous grin. "I can't have Marcus just walking in on us. What if I want to snuggle on these cold New York nights?" My frown increased. "We don't snuggle." He dropped his arm over my shoulder, and the scent of mint and something wild tickled my nose. "How about we cuddle?" "We don't do that either." "But you're my cuddle bunny. My little Apollyon cuddle" I punched him in the side. - Jennifer L Armentrout Daphne felt something wild and wicked take hold. "Let's walk in the garden," she said softly. "We can't." "We must." "We can't. - Julia Quinn To keep something wild is far more difficult than to preserve it. - Agatha Christie Orlando was unaccountably disappointed. She had thought of literature all these years (her seclusion, her rank, her sex must be her excuse) as something wild as the wind, hot as fire, swift as lightning; something errant, incalcul...

I thought of the wilderness we had left behind us, open to sea and sky, joyous in its plenitude and simplicity, perfect yet vulnerable, unaware of what is coming, defended by nothing, guarded by no one. - Edward Abbey A man could be a lover and defender of the wilderness without ever in his lifetime leaving the boundaries of asphalt, powerlines, and right-angled surfaces. We need wilderness whether or not we ever set foot in it. We need a refuge even though we may never need to go there. - Edward Abbey I suppose each of us has his own fantasy of how he wants to die. I would like to go out in a blaze of glory, myself, or maybe simply disappear someday, far out in the heart of the wilderness I love, all by myself, alone with the Universe and whatever God may happen to be looking on. Disappear - and never return. That's my fantasy. - Edward Abbey Save for the wild force of Nature, nothing moves in this world that is not Greek in its origin. - Lord Acton There are no safe paths in...
