The ground has on its clothes. The trees poke out of sheets and each branch wears the sock of God.
Anne Sexton
Image
Balance sheets bore me. I suspect if figures had excited me I would have gone into the city and now be a lot wealthier.
Anne Robinson
Image
I believe all sin, love, glory are this: when you slide down the knotted sheets, escaping from Gestapo headquarters, and she hugs you, there, suspended, and she whispers that she's always dreamed of you. The rest is just sex, copulation, the perpetuation of the vile species.
Umberto Eco
Image
What release to write so that one forgets oneself, forgets one's companion, forgets where one is or what one is going to do next to be drenched in sleep or in the sea. Pencils and pads and curling blue sheets alive with letters heap up on the desk.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
I have sat here at my desk, day after day, night after night, a blank sheet of paper before me, unable to lift my pen, trembling and weeping too.

Al walks in, and I don't even have to ask him to help me, he just walks over and strips bedding with me. i will have to scrub the frame later. Al carries the stack of sheets to the trash and together we walk toward the training room. Ignore him, Al says. He's an idiot, and if you don't get angry, he'll stop eventually.

I was a bed wetter till very late. My mom used to hang my sheets out the window to dry, and I'd have to run home from school in order to beat the other kids to my house so they wouldn't see them.
Vince Vaughn
Image
I'm the guy that gets up at three in the morning to jot down an entire sheet of lyrics for something that won't be recorded for six months. You have to get it down when you can, because thoughts are fluid.
Corey Taylor
Image
Now Nature hangs her mantle green On every blooming tree, And spreads her sheets o'daisies white Out o'er the grassy lea.
Robert Burns
Image
When I die, I desire no better winding sheet than the Stars and Stripes, and no softer pillow than the Constitution of my country.
Andrew Johnson
Image
There is something comforting about going into a practice room, putting your sheet music on a stand and playing Bach over and over again.
Andrew Bird
Image
The poet who writes free verse is like Robinson Crusoe on his desert island: he must do all his cooking, laundry and darning for himself. In a few exceptional cases, this manly independence produces something original and impressive, but more often the result is squalor - dirty sheets on the unmade bed and empty bottles on the unswept floor.
W. H. Auden
Image
When people tell me they are going to go scrapbooking, I say, 'Why don't you make it yourself.' It's like chocolate-chip cookies. People buy the cookie-dough roll and slice it, and then they lay it on a cookie sheet. That's not making chocolate-chip cookies.
Amy Sedaris

I am a man without a furnace. My windows are insulated by 19 sheets of glass which cost less than installing a heating system.
Amory Lovins
Image
The little Plumpuppets are fairies of beds They have nothing to do but watch sleepyheads They turn down the sheets and they tuck you in tight, And dance on your pillow to wish you good night!
Christopher Morley

Diane Garnick

If there is excitement in their lives, it is contained in the figures on the profit and loss sheet. What an indictment.
Anita Roddick
Image
I got a massive overdose of gamma radiation from the Xerox machine and just printing call sheets, you know? By the time I stepped in front of the camera, I was very comfortable. It was great.
Cary Elwes
Image
I like to hang out clothes on windy days. Sometimes that's all I feel like. A sheet on a line.
Stephen King
Image
From sunny woof and cloudy weft Fell rain in sheets so, to myself I hummed these hazard rhymes, and left The learned volume on the shelf.
Alfred Austin
Image
I have always had more dread of a pen, a bottle of ink, and a sheet of paper than of a sword or pistol.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Bring me an axe and spade, Bring me a winding-sheet When I my grave have made Let winds and tempests beat: Then down I'll lie as cold as clay. True love doth pass away!
William Blake
