If I know a song of Africa, of the giraffe and the African new moon lying on her back, of the plows in the fields and the sweaty faces of the coffee pickers, does Africa know a song of me? Will the air over the plain quiver with a color that I have had on, or the children invent a game in which my name is, or the full moon throw a shadow over the gravel of the drive that was like me, or will the eagles of the Ngong Hills look out for me? ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
The table was prettily decorated with camellias from the orangery, and upon the snow-white tablecloth, amongst the clear crystal glasses, the old green wineglasses threw delicate little shadows, like the spirit of a pine forest in summer. The Prioress had on a grey taffeta frock with a very rare lace, a white lace cap with streamers, and her old diamond eardrops and brooches. The heroic strength of soul of old women, Boris thought, who with great taste and trouble make themselves beautiful - more beautiful, perhaps, than they have ever been as young women - and who still can hold no hope of awakening any desire in the hearts of men, is like a righteous man working at his good deeds even after he has abandoned his faith in a heavenly reward. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
My favorite holiday memory was sitting at home all day in my pajamas during winter break for school watching a bunch of old Christmas movies like 'Jack Frost' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' with my siblings and parents. ~ Becky G
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Becky G
If I know a song of Africa, - I thought, - of the Giraffe, and the African new moon lying on her back, of the ploughs in the fields, and the sweaty faces of the coffee-pickers, does Africa know a song of me? Would the air over the plain quiver with a colour that I had had on, or the children invent a game in which my name was, or the full moon throw a shadow over the gravel of the drive that was like me, or would the eagles of Ngong look out for me? I ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
Outside, there may be reindeer that fly across the moon. Outside, there may be questions with the wrong answers and lies that are better to tell. Outside, it may be cold. But I am here. I am here, and he is here, and everything I need to know is that I will hold him and he will hold me until I am warm again, until I know I belong. ~ Stephanie Perkins
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Stephanie Perkins
The ideas of justice of Europe and Africa are not the same and those of the one world are unbearable to the other. To the African there is but one way of counter-balancing the catastrophes of existence, it shall be done by replacement; he does not look for the motive of an action. Whether you lie in wait for your enemy and cut his throat in the dark; or you fell a tree, and a thoughtless stranger passes by and is killed; so far as punishment goes, to the Native mind, it is the same thing. A loss has been brought upon the community and must be made up for, somewhere, by somebody. The Native will not give time or thought to the weighing of guilt or desert; either he fears that this may lead him too far, or he reasons that such things are no concerns of his. But he will devote himself, in endless speculations, to the method by which crime or disaster shall be weighed up in sheep and goats - time does not count to him; he leads you solemnly into a sacred maze of sophistry. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
When you have caught the rhythm of Africa, you find out that it is the same in all her music. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
Twas the night before Christmas - well, the late afternoon, in fact, but who could tell at the North Pole in the middle of winter - and Matthias the werewolf was knee-deep in reindeer guts. Really, it was the deer's own fault for having that glowing red nose that had made it ever so easy to pick him out in the gloom. There it had been, like a neon sign saying FAST FOOD and Matt being like Yellow Dog Dingo - always hungry - had taken the opportunity for a quick snack. ~ Kat Richardson
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Kat Richardson
The Sun, each second, transforms four million tons of itself into light, giving itself over to become energy that we, with every meal, partake of. For four million years, humans have been feasting on the Sun's energy stored in the form of wheat or reindeer.
Brian Swimme ~ Rob Brezsny
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Rob Brezsny
Exactly so!" called Skifr. "I daresay this tight-lipped Vansterman knows battle. How did you get that scar, my dove?"
"I was milking a reindeer and she fell on me," said Fror. "She was ever so sorry afterward, but the damage was done" And Brand wondered if he winked his misshapen eye.
"Truly a hero's mark, then," grunted Thorn, curling her lip.
Fror shrugged. "Someone must bring in the milk. ~ Joe Abercrombie
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Joe Abercrombie
Of all the idiots I have met in my life, and the Lord knows they have not been few or little, I think that I have been the biggest. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
We must leave our mark on life while we have it in our power. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
Clearly, Siberian reindeer are not fighting over drugged urine for its nutrative value. ~ David J. Linden
Blixen Reindeer quotes by David J. Linden
The author Karen Blixen once said, 'All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them.' But what if a person can't tell a story about his sorrows? What if his story tells him? ~ Stephen Grosz
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Stephen Grosz
When I was out for the Christmas Holidays in school, I would go skiing up to the mountains and there they had Santa on a sled. Pulled by horses and other reindeer, it was a very, very picturesque time and that struck me very emphatically then and has remained with me all this time. ~ William Shatner
Blixen Reindeer quotes by William Shatner
Some folk learned the nature of God, that He was merciful, having spared a husband or some cattle, that He was strict, having meted out hard punishment for small sins, that He was attentive, having sent signs of the hunger beforehand, that He was just, having sent the hunger in the first place, or having sent the whales and the teeming reindeer in the end. Some folk learned that He was to be found in the world-in the richness of the grass and the pearly beauty of the Heavens, and others learned that He could not be found in the world, for the world is always wanting, and God is completion. ~ Jane Smiley
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Jane Smiley
Up in this air you breathed easily, drawing in a vital assurance and lightness of heart. In the highlands you woke up in the morning and thought: Here I am, where I ought to be. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
A great artist is never poor. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
The views were immensely wide. Everything that you saw made for greatness and freedom, and unequealled nobility. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
I know of a cure for everything: salt water ... in one way or the other. Sweat, or tears, or the salt sea. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
I had to get a driver's license and drive to St. Louis to find the punk-rock scene that was happening there. And there was a punk-rock scene. It was sweet. It was real. It was like everywhere else in the county. It was a handful of people who were feeling the same pull, and, of course, it was like the Island of Misfit Toys in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer [1964]. Just the freaks, the fags, the fat girls, the unbelievable eccentrics . ~ Michael Stipe
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Michael Stipe
Having to act like an adult because I was directing a big movie but also feeling like a child because we had reindeer and big cameras and they had fake snow. I just wanted to go play in the snow. ~ Todd Strauss-Schulson
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Todd Strauss-Schulson
All sorrows can be borne if you can put them into a story. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
I have read true piety defined as: loving one's destiny unconditionally – and there is something in it. That is to say: I think that in a way this sort of "religiousness" is the condition for real happiness. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
I am always amazed by the novel angles that people come up with for kids' Christmas books. Even if a family is not religious, who could resist, say, "Olive, the Other Reindeer," about Olive the dog who thinks the song refers to her and heads for the North Pole to help Santa out? ~ Jabari Asim
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Jabari Asim
Santa will be showing up with Rudolph the Red-Eyed Reindeer. ~ Conan O'Brien
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Conan O'Brien
Between one stride and the next, the herd of reindeer faded away. She felt a last few ghosts go with her, shoulder on shoulder, and then they too were gone and she was back, alone, in the world of humans and ravens. ~ T. Kingfisher
Blixen Reindeer quotes by T. Kingfisher
To die for the one you loved was an effort too sweet for words. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
Every house on the street had some sort of decorations, including one house with a life-sized Santa on the roof being led by blow-up dragons instead of reindeer. ~ Katie Reus
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Katie Reus
It is a sad hardship and slavery to people who live in towns, that in their movements they know of one dimension only; they walk along the line as if they were led on a string. The transition from the line to the plane into the two dimensions, when you wander across a field or through a wood, is a splendid liberation to the slaves, like the French Revolution. But in the air you are taken into the full freedom of the three dimensions; after long ages of exile and dreams the homesick heart throws itself into the arms of space. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
No," he said after a pause, "the true art of the gods is the comic. The comic is a condescension of the divine to the world of man; it is the sublime vision, which cannot be studied, but must ever be celestially granted. In the comic the gods see their own being reflected as in a mirror, and while the tragic poet is bound by strict laws, they will allow the comic artist a freedom as unlimited as their own. They do not even withhold their own existence from his sports. Jove may favor Lucianos of Samosata. As long as your mockery is in true godly taste you may mock at the gods and still remain a sound devotee. But in pitying, or condoling with your god, you deny and annihilate him, and such is the most horrible of atheisms. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
I wish we could get a real tree," Bug says. "Then at least we'd have one real tradition, since that whole Santa thing's a bust. I mean, if parents are gonna make up a cool story, at least do it realistically. Like, have the guy use FedEx or something-no way reindeer can fly with all that weight. ~ Sarah Ockler
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Sarah Ockler
I start with a tingle, a kind of feeling of the story I will write. Then come the characters, and they take over, they make the story. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
Osaka: Ah Get to ponderin' when Christmas rolls around. Y'all know Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer? That's messed up, y'know?

Saying his nose will help light the way at night ain't no way t'make him feel better about it.

If you told a bald fella you needed the light reflecting off his head to see, he'd like to punch you. Santa's a cruel bully. ~ Kiyohiko Azuma
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Kiyohiko Azuma
When I heard this I became very sad, but I thought that now I would indeed have to take him with me so that the Virgin herself could enlighten him. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
If Mitt Romney was Santa Claus, he would fire the reindeer and outsource the elves. ~ Ted Strickland
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Ted Strickland
Love the pride of the conquered nations, and leave them to honour their father and their mother. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
I turned to the animal world from the world of men; my heart was heavy with the tragedy of the night. ~ Karen Blixen
Blixen Reindeer quotes by Karen Blixen
