John Milton

The place of my novels is Israel, almost without exception. All of them take place in Israel - in Jerusalem, in the desert, in the kibbutz, in small towns, in villages.
Amos Oz
Image
For desert, maybe we can split a couple of crumbs.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
As geographers, Sosius, crowd into the edges of their maps parts of the world which they do not know about, adding notes in the margin to the effect that beyond this lies nothing but sandy deserts full of wild beasts, and unapproachable bogs.
Plutarch
Image
Justice is that virtue of the soul which is distributive according to desert.
Aristotle

Human civilization has been changing the Earths environment for millennia, often to our detriment. Dams, deforestation and urbanization can alter water cycles and wind patterns, occasionally triggering droughts or even creating deserts.
Jamais Cascio
Image
Night comes to the desert all at once, as if someone turned off the light.
Joyce Carol Oates
Image
I live within the vivid colors of my imagination, soaring with rainbow-feathered birds, racing the desert winds on horseback, wrapped in ancient tribal jewels, dancing with mythical tigers in steamy jungles.
Laurel Burch
Image
The true call of the desert, of the mountains, or the sea, is their silence - free of the networks of dead speech.

Paulo Coelho

It gets cold in the desert at night, particularly up in the mountains the stars hammer on the rock and strike frost.

I could fall in love with a cruel desert that kills without passion, a canyon full of scorpions, one thousand blinding arctic storms, a century sealed in a cave, a river of molten salt flowing down my throat. But never with you.
Henry Rollins
Image
Greece is a bleak, unsmiling desert, without agriculture, manufactures or commerce, apparently. What supports its poverty-stricken people or its Government, is a mystery.
Mark Twain
Image
When you see the Escalades and the Hummers driving down the street, at least in Los Angeles, this dry, flat desert with shopping malls, when you see someone driving one of those through this you're like, 'You are definitely part of the problem.'
Henry Rollins
Image
I'm so happy to have been a part of that process and I would go straight back into the desert in a ton of chain mail for Ridley any day of the week. He's an amazing director and I can't wait to see the long version.
Orlando Bloom
Image
Whatever you are by nature, keep to it never desert your line of talent. Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed.
Sydney Smith
Image
Our knowledge is a receding mirage in an expanding desert of ignorance.
Will Durant
Image
I was inspired by [Michelangelo] Antonioni's Red Desert - very big and moody.
Lykke Li
Image
Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows. The really diligent student in one of the crowded hives of Cambridge college is as solitary as a dervis in the desert.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
The first song is called 'London.' It's about two Russian soldiers who desert the Russian army and escape to London, where they indulge in a life of crime.
Neil Tennant

Personality is a person among persons. There is no personality of one man on a desert island.
Kwame Kilpatrick
Image
The poor and needy search for water, but there is none their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs.
Isaiah
Image
An object is great in proportion to its power of resistance to time and the elements. That is why we think the pyramids are great. But see, the desert is greater than the pyramids, and the sea is greater than the desert, and the heavens are greater than the sea.
Ameen Rihani
Image
I distrust Great Men. They produce a desert of uniformity around them and often a pool of blood too, and I always feel a little man's pleasure when they come a cropper.
E. M. Forster
