• Evolution is a blind giant who rolls a snowball down a hill. The ball is made of flakes-circumstances. They contribute to the mass without knowing it. They adhere without intention, and without foreseeing what is to result. When they see the result they marvel at the monster ball and wonder how the contriving of it came to be originally thought out and planned. Whereas there was no such planning, there was only a law: the ball once started, all the circumstances that happened to lie in its path would help to build it, in spite of themselves.

  Mark Twain

• But a day must come when the fire of youth will be quenched in my veins, when winter will dwell in my heart, when his snow flakes will whiten my locks, and his mists will dim my eyes. Then my friends will lie in their lonely grave, and I alone will remain like a solitary stalk forgotten by the reaper.

• I drew laughing, high-breasted girls aquaplaning without a care in the world, as a result of being amply protected against such national evils as bleeding gums, facial blemishes, unsightly hairs, and faulty or inadequate life insurance. I drew housewives who, until they reached for the right soap flakes, laid themselves wide open to straggly hair, poor posture, unruly children, disaffected husbands, rough (but slender) hands, untidy (but enormous) kitchens.

• The discovery of a grey hair when you are brushing out your whiskers of a morning—first fallen flake of the coming snows of age—is a disagreeable thing.... So are flying twinges of gout, shortness of breath on the hill-side, the fact that even the moderate use of your friend's wines at dinner upsets you. These things are disagreeable because they tell you that you are no longer young—that you have passed through youth, are now in middle age, and faring onward to the shadows in which, somewhere, a grave is hid.

  Alexander Smith

• The speckled sky is dim with snow,
  The light flakes falter and fall slow;
  Athwart the hill-top, rapt and pale,
  Silently drops a silvery veil; And all the valley is shut in
  By flickering curtains gray and thin.

• Old & New put their stamp to everything in Nature. The snowflake that is now falling is marked by both. The present moment gives the motion & the color of the flake: Antiquity, its form & properties. All things wear a luster which is the gift of the present & a tarnish of time.

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

• Sí, tienes que escribir todos los días. O todos los días de la semana. Porque escribir es un trabajo. No son momentos eureka una y otra vez. Es un trabajo agotador, buscar oro. Sólo tienes que seguir en ello y, finalmente, obtener algunos granos. O copos. O lo que sea que parezca el oro en los ríos. O tal vez sea como pescar. ¿A quién le importa? Sólo tienes que hacerlo todos los días porque nunca sabes qué día va a ser tu día productivo.

• Sólo promociono productos que realmente uso. Por ejemplo, Wheaties sigue ofreciéndome dinero, pero yo no como Wheaties, así que no puedo hacerlo. Ahora, si Rice Krispies o Frosted Flakes me ofrecieran un trato, lo aceptaría de inmediato. Apple Jacks, estaría en la caja en un santiamén. Shaqs de manzana. Sí.

• Si Ford es a Chevrolet lo que Dodge es a Chrysler,
  lo que los Corn Flakes son a los Post Toasties,
  lo que el claro cielo azul es al profundo mar azul,
  lo que Hank Williams es a Neil Armstrong -
  ¿puedes dudar de que estamos hechos el uno para el otro?

• Stand here by my side and turn, I pray,
  On the lake below thy gentle eyes;
  The clouds hang over it, heavy and gray,
  And dark and silent the water lies;
  And out of that frozen mist the snow
  In wavering flakes begins to flow;
  Flake after flake,
  They sink in the dark and silent lake.

  William C. Bryant
