Snowflake Quotes
They say that every snowflake is different. If that were true, how could the world go on? How could we ever get up off our knees? How could we ever recover from the wonder of it?
Jeanette Winterson
No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.
Stanisław Jerzy Lec
The snowflake never needs to feel responsible for the avalanche.
Jon Ronson
But when a snowflake, brave and meek, Lights on a rosy maiden's cheek, It starts-"How warm and soft the day!" "'T is summer!" and it melts away.
Mary Mapes Dodge
Whenever a snowflake leaves the sky, It turns and turns to say "Good-by! Good-by, dear clouds, so cool and gray!" Then lightly travels on its way.
Mary Mapes Dodge
You are not special. Your are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
Chuck Palahniuk
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-and melting like a snowflake...
Francis Bacon
What is one man's life compared to the eternity of time and space? No more than a snowflake that glitters in the sun for a moment before melting into the flow of time.
Osamu Tezuka
So they march with sovereign tread... Behind them limps the hungry dog, and wrapped in wild snow at their head carrying a blood-red flag soft-footed where the blizzard swirls, invulnerable where bullets crossed – crowned with a crown of snowflake pearls, a flowery diadem of frost, ahead of them goes Jesus Christ.
Alexander Blok
You are not a beautiful, unique snowflake... This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.
Chuck Palahniuk
Wild air, world-mothering air, Nestling me everywhere, That each eyelash or hair Girdles; goes home betwixt The fleeciest, frailest-fixed Snowflake; that's fairly mixed With, riddles, and is rife In every least thing's life.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.
George Burns
Cause maybe you're loveable. Maybe you're my snowflake. And your eyes turn from green to gray. And in the winter I'll hold you in a cold place. And you should never cut your hair, 'Cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder.And you will never know Just how beautiful you are to me. But maybe I'm just in love When you wake me up.
Ed Sheeran
Its so fascinating to think about how each snowflake is completely individual - there are millions and millions of them, but each one is so unique.
Kate Bush
No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.
Voltaire
Rapidly going over what I could recall of Jim Bursley's information about pathological curves confirmed the conjecture. The snowball curve, derived from an equilateral triangle, is a perimeter of infinite length enclosing a finite area. The angles or points of the perimeter are uncountable. An equilateral triangle projected integrally in the third dimension is a triangular pyramid of equal surfaces. The three-dimensional snowflake derived from this pyramid--hence its diamantine appearance--is a finite volume enclosed in a surface of infinite area. The convolutions of such a surface, to be gathered around its defined content extrude a number of discrete angles or points beyond all possibility of computation. The pressure on each point is infinitesimal, unmeasurably small; the total external pressure exerted on any part of the surface is an aggregate of infinitesimal values, itself infinitesimal.
William Grey Walter
Human beings have always been struck by the complex harmony and intricate organization of the physical world. The march of the heavenly bodies across the sky, the rhythms of the seasons, the pattern of a snowflake, the myriads of living creatures so well adapted to their environment – all these things seem too well arranged to be a mindless accident.
Paul Davies
I want people to know their palate is a snowflake. We all like different things. Why should we all have the same taste in wines?
Gary Vaynerchuk
This great handsomeness I took into myself later when he desired me, but I took it as one breathes air, or swallows a snowflake, or yields to the sun.
Anaïs Nin
You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.
Chuck Palahniuk
I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, Why Why did I cause so much pain Didn't I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness Can't I see how we're all manifestations of love I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong. We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. And God says, No, that's not right. Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything.
Chuck Palahniuk
I am not yours, not lost in you, Not lost, although I long to be Lost as a candle lit at noon, Lost as a snowflake in the sea. You love me, and I find you still A spirit beautiful and bright, Yet I am I, who long to be Lost as a light is lost in light.
Sara Teasdale
