Quote by Helen Humphreys

“The language of roses shifts under our feet. It blows in and out like the wind. It carries the fragrance of the flower and then it is gone...It is how we learn to speak about something that is disappearing as we say its name.”

“Have you ever wondered why God gives so much? We could exist on far less. He could have left the world flat and grey; we wouldn't have known the difference. But he didn't. He splashed the orange in the sunrise and cast the sky in clue. And if you love to see geese as they gather, chances are you'll see that too. Did he have to make the squirrel's tail furry? Was he obligated to make the birds sing? And the funny way that chickens scurry or the majesty of thunder when it rings? Why give a flower fragance? Why give food its taste? Could it be he loved to see that look upon your face?”

“Y permaneció allí, susurrando los nombres de las estrellas a medida que iban abriendo sus flores en lo alto del cielo. Le gustaban mucho las estrellas, pero aquella noche no le sirvieron de consuelo; no bastaron para recordarle que lo que nos ocurre a los que vivimos en la tierra carece de importancia contemplado desde el eterno fulgor de la eternidad. Mirándolas, volvió a pensar en la guitarra tachonada de brillantes, en su relumbrón mundano.”

“Sky looks exactly like the sea And feels like poetry in tears Soil wet, with all that blue and green Spaces so full of in between I drop the weight and light it feels Blurred lines and boarders Disappear And these high hopes And Stretched out wings Mean , I surrender into Thee I walk through glory of your arch Aspiring to leave my mark I'm ready to forsake my feet That ever stumbled in the dark. Look at me, I'm here! - I scream, Feels like being ripped apart.”

“উড়ন্ত গাড়ী একটি বিপদজনক ধারণা। আকাশে যদি শত-হাজার গাড়ির ভিড় হয়, তাহলে তা দেখতে বেশ অপ্রীতিকর হবে এবং 'এয়ার জ্যাম' বা 'স্কাই জ্যাম' ভয়ঙ্কর দেখাবে! তাছাড়া আকাশে কোনো দুর্ঘটনা ঘটলে যেমন নির্দিষ্ট কারণে কোনো গাড়ির উড়ন বন্ধ হয়ে যায়, তাহলে সেটা বাড়ি-ঘরে, পথচারীদের মাথায়, ইত্যাদির উপর এসে পড়বে!”
