I’m afraid to be on this shore a trunk without limbs, and what I most regret is not to have flower, pulp, or clay for the worm of my suffering Picture Quote #1

Many critics are like woodpeckers, who, instead of enjoying the fruit and shadow of a tree, hop incessantly around the trunk, pecking holes in the bark to discover some little worm or other Picture Quote #1

You see how when rivers are swollen in winter those trees that yield to the flood retain their branches, but those that offer resistance perish, trunk and all Picture Quote #1

I’m like the trunk of a cactus... I take in a dose of culture and time with friends, then I retreat and go live on it for awhile until I get thirsty again Picture Quote #1

No bit of the natural world is more valuable or more vulnerable than the tree bit.

A tree nowhere offers a straight line or a regular curve, but who doubts that root, trunk, boughs, and leaves embody geometry? Picture Quote #1

A tree trunk the size of a man grows from a blade as thin as a hair. A tower nine stories high is built from a small heap of earth Picture Quote #1

What is a memory? Not a storehouse, not a trunk in the attic, but an instrument that constantly refines the past into a narrative, accessible and acceptable to oneself Picture Quote #1

One thing that worried me was how writers get categorized and so they end up having to write the same kind of book again and again. That is fine if it is what you want to do, but I would rather be locked in the trunk of my car with a weasel than write the same book every three years until I die Picture Quote #1

I always thought jazz was like the trunk of a tree. After the tree has grown, many branches have spread out. They’re all with different leaves and they all look beautiful. But at the end of the season, they fold back up and it’s still the tree trunk Picture Quote #1

The pointes for girls, I always say, have to be like an elephant’s trunk; strong and yet flexible and soft Picture Quote #1

Our nation is like a tree of which the original trunk is swarajya and the branches are swadeshi and boycott Picture Quote #1

Friends aren’t jumper cables. You don’t throw them into the trunk and pull them out for emergencies Picture Quote #1

Every river appears to consist of a main trunk, fed from a variety of branches, each running in a valley proportional to its size, and all of them together forming a system of vallies, communicating with one another, and having such a nice adjustment of their declivities that none of them join the principal valley on too high or too low a level; a circumstance which would be infinitely improbable if each of these vallies were not the work of the stream that flows in it Picture Quote #1

With every step I took away from her, the movement at my heart and between my legs grew more defined: I felt like a ventriloquist, locking his protesting dolls in to a trunk Picture Quote #1
