I have total respect for anyone who discovers a band like Snow Patrol. I would be hopeless at signing a rock band, or anything alternative, cause I don't know what that audience are into and I don't particularly like that kind of music. (Simon Cowell)
See, they return ah, see the tentative Movements, and the slow feet, The trouble in the pace and the uncertain Wavering See, they return, one, and by one, With fear, as half-awakened As if the snow should hesitate And murmur in the wind, and half turn back. View quote
Ezra Pound
The human heart is a garden, wherein grow weeds of memory and blooms of hope, and the snow falls at last and covers all. View quote
Frank Crane
People ought to like poetry the way a child likes snow & they would if poets wrote it. View quote
Wallace Stevens
Union of the weakest develops strength; Not wisdom. Can all men, together, avenge; One of the leaves that have fallen in autumn; But the wise man avenges by building his city in snow. View quote
Wallace Stevens
When the climbers in 1953 planted their flags on the highest mountain, they set them in snow over the skeletons of creatures that had lived in the warm clear ocean that India, moving north, blanked out. Possibly as much as twenty thousand feet below the seafloor, the skeletal remains had turned into rock. This one fact is a treatise in itself on the movements of the surface of the earth. If by some fiat I had to restrict all this writing to one sentence, this is the one I would choose: The summit of Mt. Everest is marine limestone. View quote
John McPhee
I am going a long way With these thou sestif indeed I go (For all my mind is clouded with a doubt) To the island-valley of Avilion, Where falls not hail or rain or any snow, Nor ever wind blows loudly but it lies Deep-meadow'd, happy, fair with orchard lawns And bowery hollows crown'd with summer sea, Where I will heal me of my grievous wound.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson
And Freedom rear'd in that august sunrise Her beautiful bold brow, When rites and forms before his burning eyes Melted like snow. View quote
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow; The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. View quote
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Free, thou sayest,-dream'st thou how? Loathing wouldst thou shun dismay'd Freedom by such ransom paid. -Girl, for thee I'll lay aside Veil of smiles and mask of pride; Shrowds that only ask of Fate Not to seem so desolate. -I am young,-but Age's snow Hides not colder depths below ... View quote
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Romantic Switzerland! thy scenes are traced With characters of strange wild loveliness, Beauty and desolation, side by side; Here lofty rocks uprise, where nature seems To dwell alone in silent majesty; Rob'd by the snow, her stately palace fram'd Of the white hills; towering in all their pride, The frost's gigantic mounds are lost in clouds, Like to vast castles rear'd in middle air. The ice has sculptur'd too strange imagery- Obelisks, columns, spires, fantastic piles; Some like the polish'd marble, others clear As the rock crystal, others sparkling with The hues that melt along the sunborn bow. (Letitia Elizabeth Landon)
Pure as the snow the summer sun Never at noon hath look'd upon, - Deep, as is the diamond wave, Hidden in the desart cave, - Changeless, as the greenest leaves Of the wreath the cypress weaves, - Hopeless, often, when most fond, Without hope or fear beyond Its own pale fidelity, - And this woman's love can be! View quote
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
A louder sweep the music gave : The chieftain of the charmed wave, Graceful upon his steed of snow, Rises from his blue halls below ; And rode he like a victor-knight Thrice glorious in his arms of light. View quote
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Down she bent Her head upon an arm so white that tears Seem'd but the natural melting of its snow, Touch'd by the flush'd cheek's crimson. View quote

Minneapolis has two seasons: Road Removal and Snow Repair. View quote
Steven Brust
I have not yet lost a feeling of wonder, and of delight, that this delicate motion should reside in all the ordinary things around us, revealing itself only to him who looks for it. I remember, in the winter of our first experiments, just seven years ago, looking on snow with new eyes. There the snow lay around my doorstep - great heaps of protons quietly precessing in the earth's magnetic field. To see the world for a moment as something rich and strange is the private reward of many a discovery. View quote
Edward Mills Purcell
My attitude about Hollywood is that I wouldn't walk across the street to pull one of those executives out of the snow if he was bleeding to death. Not unless I was paid for it. None of them ever did me any favors. View quote
James Woods
I've read that if an avalanche buries you and you're lying there underneath all that snow, you can't tell which way is up or down. You want to dig yourself out but pick the wrong way, and you dig yourself to your own demise. View quote
Khaled Hosseini
Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time. View quote
Khaled Hosseini
When I was nine, coldest winter i remember we're slipping in december, two feet of snow Yeah thats the east coast, that black ice - symbolize the rap life. View quote
Nas
Nature has no mercy at all. Nature says, 'I'm going to snow. If you have on a bikini and no snowshoes, that's tough. I am going to snow anyway.' (Maya Angelou)
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired And running out of things to say. She gave a kiss to me as I got out And I watched her drive away.Just for a moment I was back at school And felt that old familiar pain And as I turned to make my way back home The snow turned into rain. View quote
Dan Fogelberg
I am YES and I am NO, Black as pitch and white as snow, Love me, hate me, reconcile Hate with love, perfect with vile, So equal justice shall be done And life shared between moon and sun. View quote
Robert Graves
My dad grew up in a mud hut and studied by candlelight. He was 14 when he got a scholarship to Russia. He was super clever - the cleverest person. He landed in 5ft of snow, and was alone at 14, studying science and engineering. He didn't have a bed, and he slept on a table. View quote
M.I.A.
The pines smell sweet in the frozen air, and their silhoutte's just fading there, the wolves crouch close, against the snow but where we're running I don't know, In villages and soft sad towns the candles sway as night comes down, cold bones creak and strange beasts cry, watching shadows in the sky... All I have, all I need, all I got.....is providence. ~ Providence. View quote
