I'm still the same and I don't feel any different but when the elevator doors open and everybody gasps, it's an alienating feeling.
Jennifer Lawrence
Image
Parting day Dies like the dolphin, whom each pang imbues With a new colour as it gasps away, The last still loveliest, till-'t is gone, and all is gray.
Lord Byron

Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks - expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs - that can undermine any tale you're telling.
Pam Brown

Georges Bataille

Jonathan Safran Foer

We've learned to see the world in gasps.
Margaret Atwood

Rachel Cohn

Then Octavia drops to her knees, rubs the hem of a skirt against her cheek, and burst into tears. It's been so long, she gasps, since I've seen anything pretty.
Suzanne Collins
