„In 1913 I had the happy idea to fasten a bicycle wheel to a kitchen stool and watch it turn. A few months later I bought a cheap reproduction of a winter evening landscape, which I called ‘Pharmacy’ after assign two small dots, one red and one yellow, in the horizon. In New York in 1915 I bought at a hardware store an snow shovel on which I wrote ‘In advance of the broken arm’. It was around that time that the word ‘Readymade’ came to mind to designate this form of manifestation.“
„There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, Dim being really dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar making up rassoodocks what to do with the evening, a flip dark chill winter bastard though dry. The Korova Milkbar was a milk-plus mesto, and you may, O my brothers, have forgotten what these mestos were like, things changing so skorry these days, and everybody very quick to forget, newspapers not being read much neither.“
„Sit like a fool then, crassly emptyingGlass after wineglass in some foul tavern,Watching the night and its candles gutter,Snoring at sunrise.In England now the wind blows highAnd clouds brush rudely at the sky;The blood runs thinly through my frame,I half-caress the hearthstone’s flame,Oppressed by autumn’s desolate cry.Then homesick for the south am I,For where the lucky swallows fly,But each warm land is just a nameIn England now.The luckless workers I espyWith chins dipped low and collars high,Walk into winter, do not blameThe shifting globe. A gust of shameRepresses my unmanly sighIn England now.“
„Cause maybe you’re loveable.Maybe you’re my snowflake.And your eyes turn from green to gray.And in the winter I’ll hold you in a cold place.And you should never cut your hair,’Cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder.And you will never knowJust how beautiful you are to me.But maybe I’m just in loveWhen you wake me up.“
„When I was nine, coldest winter i rememberwe’re slipping in december, two feet of snowYeah thats the east coast, that black ice – symbolize the rap life“
„They fell upon an ungenial climate, where there were nine months of winter and three months of cold weather, and that called out the best energies of the men, and of the women too, to get a mere subsistence out of the soil, with such a climate. In their efforts to do that they cultivated industry and frugality at the same time — which is the real foundation of the greatness of the Pilgrims.“
„O but we dreamed to mendWhatever mischief seemedTo afflict mankind, but nowThat winds of winter blowLearn that we were crack-pated when we dreamed.“
„I know what wages beauty gives,How hard a life her servant lives,Yet praise the winters gone:There is not a fool can call me friend,And I may dine at journey’s endWith Landor and with Donne.“
„Hearts with one purpose aloneThrough summer and winter, seemEnchanted to a stoneTo trouble the living stream.“
„No. I’ve no time to waste. Winter’s coming.“
„In the beginning of the year 1665 I found the method of approximating Series and the Rule for reducing any dignity of any Binomial into such a series. The same year in May I found the method of tangents of Gregory and Slusius, and in November had the direct method of Fluxions, and the next year in January had the Theory of Colours, and in May following I had entrance into the inverse method of Fluxions. And the same year I began to think of gravity extending to the orb of the Moon, and having found out how to estimate the force with which [a] globe revolving within a sphere presses the surface of the sphere, from Kepler’s Rule of the periodical times of the Planets being in a sesquialterate proportion of their distances from the centers of their orbs I deduced that the forces which keep the Planets in their Orbs must [be] reciprocally as the squares of their distances from the centers about which they revolve: and thereby compared the force requisite to keep the Moon in her orb with the force of gravity at the surface of the earth, and found them answer pretty nearly. All this was in the two plague years of 1665 and 1666, for in those days I was in the prime of my age for invention, and minded Mathematicks and Philosophy more than at any time since. What Mr Hugens has published since about centrifugal forces I suppose he had before me. At length in the winter between the years 1676 and 1677 I found the Proposition that by a centrifugal force reciprocally as the square of the distance a Planet must revolve in an Ellipsis about the center of the force placed in the lower umbilicus of the Ellipsis and with a radius drawn to that center describe areas proportional to the times. And in the winter between the years 1683 and 1684 this Proposition with the Demonstration was entered in the Register book of the R. Society. And this is the first instance upon record of any Proposition in the higher Geometry found out by the method in dispute. In the year 1689 Mr Leibnitz, endeavouring to rival me, published a Demonstration of the same Proposition upon another supposition, but his Demonstration proved erroneous for want of skill in the method.“
„What am I doing here in this endless winter?“
„So when ebbing Nile hides himself in his great caverns and holds in his mouth the liquid nurture of an eastern winter, the valleys smoke forsaken by the flood and gaping Egypt awaits the sounds of her watery father, until at their prayers he grants sustenance to the Pharian fields and brings on a great harvest year.“
„Like when you sit in front of a fire in winter — you are just there in front of the fire. You don’t have to be smart or anything. The fire warms you.“
„Little darling,It’s been a long cold lonely winter.“
„Only after Winter comes do we know that the pine and the cypress are the last to fade.“
„Winter garden,the moon thinned to a thread,insects singing.“
„Winter solitude-in a world of one colourthe sound of the wind.“
„Yogi Johnson stood looking out of the window of a big pump-factory in Michigan. Spring would soon be here. Could it be that what this writing fellow Hutchinson had said, ‘If winter comes, can spring be far behind?’ would be true again this year? Yogi Johnson wondered.“
„She makes use of the soft of the bread for a napkin. She falls asleep at times with shoes on, on unmade beds. When a little money comes in, June buys delicacies, strawberries in the winter, caviar and bath salts.“
