Wind Blowing

Ursula K. Le Guin Author, Poet, Essayist

"Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass."

Bob Dylan Singer-songwriter

"Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth. You're an idiot babe, it's a wonder that you still know how to breathe."

Melissa Walker Author

"Maybe you're getting into the rhythm of sailing life," says James. He looks out at the waves that are rolling in to lap against the dock. "You know, the tides going in and then out, the wind blowing east and then west, the high of a perfect day out on the water, the low of a thunderstorm or a wind that won't go your way."

Bob Dylan Singer-songwriter

"Idiot wind, blowing every time you open your mouth."
