More From Michael Ondaatje

Things are going so well. we’re volleying words back and forth. everything she says, i have something i can say back. we’re sparking, and part of me just wants to sit back and watch. we’re clicking. not because a part of me is fitting into a part of her. but because our words are clicking into each other to form sentences and our sentences are clicking into each other to form dialogue and our dialogue is clicking together to form this scene from this ongoing movie that’s as comfortable as it is unrehearsed.
Together Watches Our Words
And what does the rain say at night in a small town, what does the rain have to say? who walks beneath dripping melancholy branches listening to the rain? who is there in the rain’s million-needled blurring splash, listening to the grave music of the rain at night, september rain, september rain, so dark and soft? who is there listening to steady level roaring rain all around, brooding and listening and waiting, in the rain-washed, rain-twinkled dark of night?
Rain Dark Night
You gotta have good olive oil. you should have a cooking olive oil and you should have a finishing olive oil, like an extra-virgin olive oil.
Should Have Oil Cooking
Let the rain kiss you. let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. let the rain sing you a lullaby. the rain makes still pools on the sidewalk. the rain makes running pools in the gutter. the rain plays a little sellp-song on our roof at night- and i love the rain.
Running Song Spring
The most important thing... is not clicking the shutter... it is clicking with the subject.
Photography Important Shutters
In the spring rain, the pond and the river become one. into every life some rain must fall. usually when your car windows are down. it raineth on the just and the unjust alike, but the unjust stealeth the just's umbrella let the rain kiss you. let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. let the rain sing you a lullaby.
Spring Rain Fall
Similar Quotes
To see human beings in agony, to see them covered in blood and to hear their death groans, makes people humble. it makes their spirits delicate, bright, peaceful. it's never at such times that we become cruel or bloodthirsty. no, it's on a beautiful spring afternoon like this that people suddenly become cruel. it's at a moment like this, don't you think, while one's vaguely watching the sun as it peeps through the leaves of the trees above a well-mown lawn? every possible nightmare in the world, every possible nightmare in history, has come into being like this.
Beautiful Spring Humble
Real happiness is not dependent on external things. the pond is fed from within. the kind of happiness that stays with you is the happiness that springs from inward thoughts and emotions. you must cultivate your mind if you wish to achieve enduring happiness.
Motivational Real Spring
Happiness is caused by things that happen around me, and circumstances will mar it; but joy flows right on through trouble; joy flows in the night as well as in the day; joy flows through persecution and opposition. it is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart; a secret spring the world can't see and doesn't know anything about.
Spring Heart Night
Merit has rarely risen of itself, but a pebble or a twig is often quite sufficient for it to spring from to the highest ascent. there is usually some baseness before there is any elevation.
Spring Ascent Pebbles
