Wood Quotes

We think the fire eats the wood. We are wrong. The wood reaches out to the flame. The fire licks at what the wood harbors, and the wood gives itself away to that intimacy, the manner in which we and the world meet each new day Picture Quote #1

The smell of roasting meat together with that of burning fruit wood and dried herbs, as voluptuous as incense in a church, is enough to turn anyone into a budding gastronome Picture Quote #1

When chess masters err, ordinary wood pushers tend to derive a measure of satisfaction, if not actual glee Picture Quote #1

First and foremost it is essential to understand the essence, the overall idea of any fashionable variation, and only then include it in one’s repertoire. Otherwise the tactical trees will conceal from the player the strategic picture of the wood, in which his orientation will most likely be lost Picture Quote #1

I want to be able to work a piece of wood into an object that contributes something beautiful and useful to everyday life Picture Quote #1

My furniture, boxes, and turnings are simple, practical designs for everyday use. I love the grain and beauty of wood. Each piece of lumber is a work of art, after all, and I’d like to honor that gift and pass it on for someone else to appreciate Picture Quote #1

The shed of leaves became a cascade of red and gold and after a time the trees stood skeletal against a sky of weathered tin. The land lay bled of its colors. The nights lengthened, went darker, brightened in their clustered stars. The chilled air smelled of wood smoke, of distances and passing time. Frost glimmered on the morning fields. Crows called across the pewter afternoons Picture Quote #1

I’d like to form a club just for fathers. Specifically, fathers of daughters. There would be lots of overstuffed leather chairs, wood paneling, dim lights. The works Picture Quote #1

Light is the photographic medium par excellence; it is to the photographer what words are to the writer; color and paint to the painter; wood, metal, stone, or clay to the sculptor Picture Quote #1

To enter a wood is to pass into a different world in which we ourselves are transformed Picture Quote #1

My own time on earth has led me to believe in two powerful instruments that turn experience into love: holding and listening. For every time I have held or been held, every time I have listened or been listened to, experience burns like wood in that eternal fire, and I find myself in the presence of love. This has always been so Picture Quote #1

That a modern battleship of 48,000 tons would have to defend itself against wood and fabric biplanes with its main armament was a salutary reminder of the changing face of sea warfare Picture Quote #1

A man is likewise form and expression, a written sign thrown unto boundless matter, an undifferentiated word of what is. I’ve therefore been created in the image of the inscriptions that, as a child, I used to project unto my bits of bone, stone, wood, and iron, probably even in the image of a single one of their words, a single one of their letters Picture Quote #1

We are, in a certain way, defined as much by our potential as by its expression. There is a great difference between an acorn and a little bit of wood carved into an acorn shape, a difference not always readily apparent to the naked eye. The difference is there even if the acorn never has the opportunity to plant itself and become an oak. Remembering its potential changes the way in which we think of the acorn and react to it. How we value it. If an acorn were conscious, knowing its potential would change the way that it might think and feel about itself Picture Quote #1

I will never tire of recommending the custom, practiced by the best architects, of preparing not only drawings and sketches, but also models of wood or any other material. These... enable us to examine... the work as a whole... and, before continuing any further, to estimate the likely trouble and expense Picture Quote #1

I like a man who can build things. Whittle me something out of wood and I’m sold Picture Quote #1

I always said that if I could just find a guy who could chop wood and had a nice smile, it wouldn’t bother me if he was a thug or an aristocrat, as long as he was a good guy. And I’ve ended up with an educated thug Picture Quote #1

In a swamp, as in meditation, you begin to glimpse how elusive, how inherently insubstantial, how fleeting our thoughts are, our identities. There is magic in this moist world, in how the mind lets go, slips into sleepy water, circles and nuzzles the banks of palmetto and wild iris, how it seeps across dreams, smears them into the upright world, rots the wood of treasure chests, welcomes the body home Picture Quote #1

Anything, everything, can be learned if you can just get yourself in a little patch of real ground, real nature, real wood, real anything? and just sit still and watch Picture Quote #1

Indians walk softly and hurt the landscape hardly more than the birds and squirrels, and their brush and bark huts last hardly longer than those of wood rats, while their more enduring monuments, excepting those wrought on the forests by the fires they made to improve their hunting grounds, vanish in a few centuries Picture Quote #1

A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees is almost as helpless; forests which are so used that they cannot renew themselves will soon vanish, and with them all their benefits. A true forest is not merely a storehouse full of wood, but, as it were, a factory of wood and at the same time a reservoir of water. When you help to preserve our forests or plant new ones you are acting the part of good citizens Picture Quote #1

How lucky my life is that I have two arms, and two legs, and ten fingers with which to make things out of wood Picture Quote #1

I used anything, various materials; this is wood, and this is mixed up clay, wedged together, clay with glazes and stuff like that Picture Quote #1

The people you save won’t celebrate you. They’ll gather the wood and cheer while you burn Picture Quote #1

The world needs to listen to the cry of the earth, which is asking for help. If you carry on killing people and you continue to destroy nature and you take out all the oil, the minerals and the wood, our planet will become ill and we’ll all die Picture Quote #1

A guitar is a piece of wood, and if this piece is resonating in a period of 40 or 60 years, it kind of gets to know what it is after awhile... the reason violinists play violins that are hundreds of years old. The wood learns to sing Picture Quote #1

The wood was better before I cut it, than after. I did not improve it in any way Picture Quote #1

Anybody who can’t hear the difference between a ball hitting wood and a ball hitting concrete must be blind Picture Quote #1

I was just getting acquainted with the wood. I wanted to see if it was maple or pine Picture Quote #1

This was my prayer: an adequate portion of land with a garden and a spring of water and a small wood to complete the picture Picture Quote #1
