Gems Quotes
One of the brightest gems in the New England weather is the dazzling uncertainty of it.
Mark Twain
I'm also looking for gems that the average reader might have missed.
Terri Windling
[In natural history, ] great discovery often requires a map to a hidden mine filled with gems then easily gathered by conventional tools, not a shiny new space-age machine for penetrating previously inaccessible worlds.
Stephen Jay Gould
I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it.
Elizabeth Taylor
Hail, gentle Dawn! mild blushing goddess, hail! Rejoic'd I see thy purple mantle spread O'er half the skies, gems pave thy radiant way, And orient pearls from ev'ry shrub depend.
William Somervile

Ralph Waldo Emerson
He's become like that briefcase in the ground-full of gems yet void of light, so nothing sparkles, nothing shines.

I'm an infant with Shakespeare; I'm kind of learning how to walk. I am trying to decipher the code, you know? I do my research. And I get a clear understanding of what the language is. It is a tremendous process I have to go through as I am sure all actors do, finding the gems hidden in his language.
Ruben Santiago-Hudson
I have just concluded my series of paintings, I look at them constantly. I who made them often find them horrible. I understand them only at rare moments, when I have forgotten all about them, on days when I feel kindly disposed and indulgent to their poor maker. Sometimes I am horribly afraid to turn round canvases which I have piled against the wall; I am constantly afraid of finding monsters where I believed there were precious gems !.. .Thus it does not astonish me that the critics in London relegate me to the lowest rank. Alas! I fear that they are only too justified! - However, at times I come across works of mine which are soundly done and really in my style, and at such moments I find great solace. But no more of that. Painting, art in general, enchants me. It is my life. What else matters?
Camille Pissarro
That gems the starry girdle of the year.
Thomas Campbell

William R. Alger
This casket India's glowing gems unlocks And all Arabia breathes from yonder box.
Alexander Pope
God bless all the precious little examples and all their cascading implications; without these gems, these tiny acorns bearing the blueprints of oak trees, essayists would be out of business.
Stephen Jay Gould
Pirates! No true honest seamen, these, with their strange contrast of finery and ruffianism. Tarry breeks and seamen's shirts, yet silken sashes lapped their waists; no stockings to their legs, yet many had on silver-buckled shoes and heavy gold rings to their fingers. Great gems dangled from many a heavy gold hoop serving as an ear ring. Not an honest sailorman's knife among them, but costly Spanish and Italian daggers. Their gauds, their ferocious faces, their wild and blasphemous bearing stamped them with the mark of their red trade.
Robert E. Howard
There are little gems all around us that can hold glimmers of inspiration.
Richelle Mead
Rich and rare were the gems she wore, And a bright gold ring on her wand she bore.
Thomas Moore
