I was in a store in Halifax, Nova Scotia that I love, sort of like an environmental friendly sort of store. But they had a great book section. So I went in there all the time. The woman who worked there - which I feel so bad; I've forgotten her name - she handed me the book and she said, "Hey, you should read this. I think it would make a good movie." I remember reading the back of it and I was like, "Huh." Then I just devoured the book and I was so moved by it and said, "Why don't we start developing this into a film?" So that's how it [Into the Forest] all started. ~ Ellen Page
Nova Scotia quotes by Ellen Page
Super 8 film is the language of silence. ~ Rebecca McNutt
Nova Scotia quotes by Rebecca McNutt
... I'm afraid of what the digital age will do to the world, to the things we think are important ... it's almost like people want to believe in some illusion that they're robots and forget altogether that they're real, living people ... but everything these days is disposable, even people themselves, and that's why I'm afraid for the world," Mandy confessed, looking depressed and worried.
"So am I ... but I'll still watch all of it as the world dooms itself, because I want to see how it ends, and whether or not they'll be intelligent enough to forget all of this digital illusion afterwards," Alecto explained. "I'm sure that they'll be able to realize how wrong it all is ... even though the idiots outnumber most people these days, there are still enough intelligent people to fight against it. ~ Rebecca McNutt
Nova Scotia quotes by Rebecca McNutt
Well, we're originally from Glace Bay."

Grandma Elsie's eyes glittered. She was looking at one of her own, a lost Cape Bretoner in need of help and offering a new story. "Tell me all about it, dear. ~ Beatrice Rose Roberts
Nova Scotia quotes by Beatrice Rose Roberts
Never be discouraged. If I were sunk in the lowest pits of Nova Scotia, with the Rocky Mountains piled on me, I would hang on, exercise faith, and keep up good courage, and I would come out on top. ~ Joseph Smith Jr.
Nova Scotia quotes by Joseph Smith Jr.
I might be the hazardous waste site that polluted it, but Cape Breton Island is still my home. ~ Rebecca McNutt
Nova Scotia quotes by Rebecca McNutt
Nova Scotia is a box bass and a fiddle and German sourdough and scotch eggs. And the air, all heavy and bracing and wet. When you're driving, you wave to the old guy walking along the side of the road in the plaid flannel shirt and he waves back, because it's just what you do. This is an extraordinarily hospitable and musical place. You've got to haul wood in the winter and batten down hatches during hurricanes, and there are bagpipes and banjos and weathered old barns and whales offshore and abandoned fishing boats sleeping on the beach. ~ Kate Inglis
Nova Scotia quotes by Kate Inglis
Though born in Nova Scotia, I am of almost pure New England descent. ~ Simon Newcomb
Nova Scotia quotes by Simon Newcomb
There is a red sandy beach in the Minas Basin in Nova Scotia that is unlike any other shore landscape I have ever seen. The world's highest tides wash its shores, and the soft cliffs of Blomidon Provincial Park are constantly crumbling away; whole trees will occasionally slide down to the sea to decay slowly in the wind and brine. ~ John Burnside
Nova Scotia quotes by John Burnside
The first gig we ever played was in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where I'm from. I was in a band called the October Game, and we opened up for a Vancouver band. ~ Sarah McLachlan
Nova Scotia quotes by Sarah McLachlan
Oh, I'm Chrissy Mackenzie, I'm from Vancouver but I came here to study environmental journalism," the girl exclaimed with way too much enthusiasm. "You got any advice?"

"Search me," Mandy muttered, spooning another ice cube from the empty glass on the table in front of her. "I like pollution, I write in favor of it, and environmental journalism most often implies that it's in favor of all that "go green" hippie crap."

"Oh, well…." Chrissy seemed taken aback, offended, and Mandy sighed a fourth time. "Damn it, I'm really sorry," she apologized, smiling dismally at the aspiring writer. "It's just been a really lousy day for me and I wasn't really thinking. My advice? Find your own cause to represent, not one thrown out into society by a ton of environmentalist dopes. Find something new, something you think could be improved, and work from there." Chrissy smiled with a look of total ecstasy as if the words of some nobody woman were important. Mandy momentarily noticed the groups of laughing, drunk, giggling people, all acting childish… and for a moment she wished she could be them. ~ Rebecca McNutt
Nova Scotia quotes by Rebecca McNutt
Musk began thinking back to his time as an intern at the Bank of Nova Scotia. His big takeaway from that job, that bankers are rich and dumb, now had the feel of a massive opportunity. ~ Ashlee Vance
Nova Scotia quotes by Ashlee Vance
The town of Lunenburg was built on a hill running down to a sheltered harbour. On one of the upper streets stands a Presbyterian church with a huge gilded cod on its weather vane. Along the waterfront, the wooden-shingled houses are brick red, a color that originally came from mixing clay with cod-liver oil to protect the wood against the salt of the waterfront. It is the look of Nova Scotia - brick red wood, dark green pine, charcoal sea. ~ Mark Kurlansky
Nova Scotia quotes by Mark Kurlansky
I'm a tomboy from Nova Scotia. ~ Ellen Page
Nova Scotia quotes by Ellen Page
Nova Scotia as a British colony also came into being as another result of these adventurous British expeditions to North America in the reign of James I. ~ Harry Johnston
Nova Scotia quotes by Harry Johnston
I grew up in Nova Scotia, so there weren't a whole lot of rules. ~ Diego Klattenhoff
Nova Scotia quotes by Diego Klattenhoff
Ben Farmer brings a legend to life in Evangeline, evoking with grace and panache the travails of the Acadians in mid-eighteenth century America from Nova Scotia to New Orleans. Farmer is a wonderful storyteller, and readers won't soon forget this tale of love and fortitude. Simply riveting. ~ Keith Donohue
Nova Scotia quotes by Keith Donohue
In this part of Canada, it was assumed that the passengers would provide each other with entertainment. ~ Beatrice Rose Roberts
Nova Scotia quotes by Beatrice Rose Roberts
I once owned a home on an island off the coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. ~ Joseph Monninger
Nova Scotia quotes by Joseph Monninger
We spent a month in Japan last year, a week in Istanbul for the United Nations, and nearly three months in my native Nova Scotia, where my two brothers have homes; and we'll go back there this summer. ~ Robert MacNeil
Nova Scotia quotes by Robert MacNeil
Sing a song of Tar Ponds City, party full of lies! Four and twenty liars, seventeen hands caught in pies! When the pie was cut, Hugh Briss began to sing! Wasn't that a stonewall rat to set before the Fossil's ding? ~ Beatrice Rose Roberts
Nova Scotia quotes by Beatrice Rose Roberts
I come from Nova Scotia, and I'd never seen a theater or been inside of a theater. When I was 17, my dad asked me what I wanted to do, and I said I thought I would like to be an actor. I didn't have any idea what it was to be an actor. None. I'd wanted to be either an actor or a sculptor, which are both essentially the same thing. That's how it all started for me. ~ Donald Sutherland
Nova Scotia quotes by Donald Sutherland
The oceans have been a part of my life for as long as I remember. As a child, I spent hours playing in the surf off Cape Cod. In college, I fished along the rocky coast of Nova Scotia with my school's fishing team. ~ Frances Beinecke
Nova Scotia quotes by Frances Beinecke
Death is a debt to Nature due
Which we have paid and so must you. ~ Tombstone Epitaph In Tatamagouche Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia quotes by Tombstone Epitaph In Tatamagouche Nova Scotia
Alecto isn't a person! He's just something that society made and then threw away, a memory that refuses to die. ~ Rebecca McNutt
Nova Scotia quotes by Rebecca McNutt
Fire comes in all intensities. A hotter tongue of flame can devour another. Surely the hottest can sear a man clean. - UILLEAM ANDRIU MACRIEVE, CHIEFTAIN OF THE NOVA SCOTIA SETTLEMENT OF CLAN MACRIEVE ~ Kresley Cole
Nova Scotia quotes by Kresley Cole
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Canada are the horns, the head, the neck, the shins, and the hoof of the ox, and the United States are the ribs, the sirloin, the kidneys, and the rest of the body. ~ William Cobbett
Nova Scotia quotes by William Cobbett
I rolled my eyes. "Kit is looking for a job in Nova Scotia."
"Canada?" Despite everything, Hi chuckled. "Have a good time, eh? Don't fight with any moose. Meese. Whatever."
"Shut up." Against all expectation, I giggled. At least I had my friends. ~ Kathy Reichs
Nova Scotia quotes by Kathy Reichs
America, so far as her physical history is concerned, has been falsely denominated the New World. Hers was the first dry land lifted out of the waters, hers the first shore washed by the ocean that enveloped all the earth beside; and while Europe was represented only by islands rising here and there above the sea, America already stretched an unbroken line of land from Nova Scotia to the Far West. ~ Louis Agassiz
Nova Scotia quotes by Louis Agassiz
Through a large field that had turned a dead yellow after an early frost, past the multicoloured clapboard company houses and through a flurry of fabric hanging from clotheslines… after a few minutes he stopped at the edge of a high cliff, where a long time ago he'd been able to see the mine towers and orange smog from the steel mill way off in the distance, and he'd been able to stare for hours at the periwinkle-coloured ocean waves crashing against the jagged rocks below. At times he'd wonder what it would be like to cross the ocean. He knew from the books he'd read that he would be in Europe probably, that by plane it took hours, by boat it took weeks depending on the speed of the boat… he knew the street maps of Paris and London and Pennsylvania. He knew all the monumental buildings of the world… but he was unable to leave, if he tried to leave Nova Scotia, Mearth would lock him in the basement of his house for months, maybe even years, in the dark, isolated…
Not even wanting to consider it, he closed his eyes, the swift wind from the ocean gusting through the scraggly grass. As the sun briefly came out in a haze, a kaleidoscope of reds and golds, he lit a cigarette and tried to imagine that the mill and mines were still in their rightful place. ~ Rebecca McNutt
Nova Scotia quotes by Rebecca McNutt
I guess my natural inclination is to finish what I started. We have a Conservative government in Nova Scotia. What I want to see is a Conservative government in Ottawa. ~ Peter MacKay
Nova Scotia quotes by Peter MacKay
Smile for the camera, pretty little Sydney Tar Ponds. ~ Rebecca McNutt
Nova Scotia quotes by Rebecca McNutt
If I were in the deepest coalpit of Nova Scotia, and had the Rocky Mountains piled on top of me, I would not be discouraged, and I would come out on top! ~ Joseph Smith Jr.
Nova Scotia quotes by Joseph Smith Jr.
I didn't know that there were any radio stations in Nova Scotia. ~ Elvis Presley
Nova Scotia quotes by Elvis Presley
Sometimes a perfect memory can be ruined if put to words. ~ Nova Ren Suma
Nova Scotia quotes by Nova Ren Suma
But then the stage showed other things. Bad things. Murderous things. Things I would never really do. And things I would forget about in the morning, because I'd wake up feeling a whole lot better. I knew right from wrong, Ori and I both did. We were not terrible people. We were not fools. ~ Nova Ren Suma
Nova Scotia quotes by Nova Ren Suma
Within a few weeks of coming back from filming 'Lemonade Mouth,' I got these scripts, and 'Terra Nova' was the one that stuck out. I was like, 'Oh my gosh'. ~ Naomi Scott
Nova Scotia quotes by Naomi Scott
So? I know lots of beautiful women. Nova wanted to chase ... I merely obliged her by running. ~ D.D. Chant
Nova Scotia quotes by D.D. Chant
Screw you, Moretti." Wyatt glared at him. "I ain't stupid."

Nova laughed. "You just said 'ain't. ~ Kele Moon
Nova Scotia quotes by Kele Moon
Unlock your mind, unlock your mind. Throw off the fear, and let us fly. ~ Heather Nova
Nova Scotia quotes by Heather Nova
-Nice concept.
-What is?
-Retreating. Getting away from the grind.
-Oh, you never do. You just change gears. ~ Jonathan Kellerman
Nova Scotia quotes by Jonathan Kellerman
Nova studied the city beneath her. It WAS a good reminder of what she was fighting for.
But Callum was wrong about one thing.
Sometimes, things did have to be destroyed before something better could be built. ~ Marissa Meyer
Nova Scotia quotes by Marissa Meyer
The other two weren't even dancers. They were football players. Which was ridiculous. ~ Nova Ren Suma
Nova Scotia quotes by Nova Ren Suma
I can't tell if that was arrogant," Ruby muttered, "Or just... you know, honest."
"The two aren't mutually exclusive. ~ Marissa Meyer
Nova Scotia quotes by Marissa Meyer
The words are said. We're one. You will have my name and all that I own, Nova. We are one. You saved my life. But more than that, you saved my soul. ~ Candace Sams
Nova Scotia quotes by Candace Sams
I wonder who drove all the way up here to leave this piece of hate mail for the dead. ~ Nova Ren Suma
Nova Scotia quotes by Nova Ren Suma
All iron comes from stars," Seeker replied, her hand still not quite brushing the hilt of the blade. "It's the last element they can burn before they go nova. Iron's the skeletons of stars, and it's what makes our blood red. I ~ Elizabeth Bear
Nova Scotia quotes by Elizabeth Bear
Probably she died. Consumption. Fever. Mountain lion. I don't know. ~ Nova Ren Suma
Nova Scotia quotes by Nova Ren Suma
The situation got worse when they came back to her apartment after and someone put on music. An advert interrupted during a moment when I was the person nearest the laptop, and so somebody said to me - quite threateningly, I felt - Put something else on. Obviously I forgot every song I have ever heard in my entire life. In one swift tug, like the tablecloth trick where everything is supposed to remain on the table gone wrong, every name of every artist disappeared too. The only keywords I could think of were the ones on a toy keyboard-and-tape-recorder combo I'd been given as a child, and I hadn't known their meaning even then. Bossa nova, for example.

I said I couldn't think of anything, any music, except silence, and retreated to the corner of the room, pretending to busy myself by scouring the bookcase there, which held little gatherings of figurines as well as Mizuko's many books. ~ Olivia Sudjic
Nova Scotia quotes by Olivia Sudjic
Home.
Home was BAMA, the Sprawl, the Boston-Atlanta Metropolitan Axis.
Program a map to display frequency of data exchange, every thousand megabytes a single pixel on a very large screen. Manhattan and Atlanta burn solid white. Then they start to pulse, the rate of traffic threatening to overload your simulation. Your map is about to go nova. Cool it down. Up your scale. Each pixel a million megabytes. At a hundred million megabytes per second, you begin to make out certain blocks in midtown Manhattan, outlines of hundred-year-old industrial parks ringing the old core of Atlanta ... ~ William Gibson
Nova Scotia quotes by William Gibson
And when somebody knows you well, well there's no comfort like that. And when somebody needs you, well there's no drug like that. ~ Heather Nova
Nova Scotia quotes by Heather Nova
I stream this radio station, Radio Nova, that's based in Paris. They curate a beautiful set that's really all over the place - they'll play blues or some West African music, then A Tribe Called Quest, then funk from Ethiopia, then James Brown, and then the Beatles. It's an amazing mix. ~ Zoe Kravitz
Nova Scotia quotes by Zoe Kravitz
Home is where the heart is, and where the hell is, and where the hate is, and where the hopelessness is. Which made Aurora Hills pretty much like home. ~ Nova Ren Suma
Nova Scotia quotes by Nova Ren Suma
Peace is found neither in hot blood nor in cold sweat," Nova said. ~ Michael Reaves
Nova Scotia quotes by Michael Reaves
None of our parents saw what we could see, which had us decide that growing up into adulthood must mean going blind. ~ Nova Ren Suma
Nova Scotia quotes by Nova Ren Suma
I am beauty, courage, honor, hope and modesty. They are my steady hold, my purity, confidence, pride, and safety. Apart, we are broken. But together, we are whole again. ~ Kristan Billups
Nova Scotia quotes by Kristan Billups
Cassandra Nova impersonating Xavier: Imagine the responsibility of all that destructive potential. The power to crack the firmament and extinguish suns ... Imagine that in the wrong hands. ~ Grant Morrison
Nova Scotia quotes by Grant Morrison
Only through the darkness of night can we be guided by the light." - Meera Garland. ~ S.B. Nova
Nova Scotia quotes by S.B. Nova
CHORONZON: I am a dire wolf, prey-stalking, lethal prowler.
MORPHEUS: I am a hunter, horse-mounted, wolf-stabbing.
CHORONZON: I am a horsefly, horse-stinging, hunter-throwing.
MORPHEUS: I am a spider, fly-consuming, eight legged.
CHORONZON: I am a snake, spider-devouring, posion-toothed.
MORPHEUS: I am an ox, snake-crushing, heavy-footed.
CHORONZON: I am an anthrax, butcher bacterium, warm-life destroying.
MORPHEUS: I am a world, space-floating, life-nurturing.
CHORONZON: I am a nova, all-exploding ... planet-cremating.
MORPHEUS: I am the Universe
all things encompassing, all life embracing.
CHORONZON: I am Anti-Life, the Beast of Judgment. I am the dark at the end of everything. The end of universes, gods, worlds ... of everything. Sss. And what will you be then, Dreamlord?
MORPHEUS: I am hope. ~ Neil Gaiman
Nova Scotia quotes by Neil Gaiman
All unemployed Jews are sent to labour camps in the countryside. A survivor remembered that "It was like a Russian winter. The snow lay metres deep on the tracks and froze over. To be there made one feel as though one was overwintering in Nova Zemlya."27 ~ Geert Mak
Nova Scotia quotes by Geert Mak
He is like a man living through the night before doomsday, with full knowledge that the sun will go nova in the morning, yet unable to enjoy the precious pleasures of this world because all his energy is devoted to wishing desperately that the foreseen end will not, after all, come to pass. ~ Dean Koontz
Nova Scotia quotes by Dean Koontz
They're Hive Monks,' said Nova. ~ Philip Reeve
Nova Scotia quotes by Philip Reeve
I left him and went up on deck to look out at the slithering city, its glitter of street lamps fizzy under the rain. There's something wrong about a ship in dock, something pathetic, like a bird fluttering in a spill of oil. The Nova was tethered to her berth by ropes and chains, caught in a pool of greasy water. I could feel her shifting under my feet, tugging to be free. ~ Beryl Bainbridge
Nova Scotia quotes by Beryl Bainbridge
Aurora thought about Nova, afraid to even discuss the Eye's existence. She thought about the crammed, ramshackle homes she'd passed that people had no choice but to live in if they wanted the safety that Pavan provided. She thought about every time she'd ever heard of some traveling party that disappeared, lost to the dangers of the wildlands. Maybe she could do something. With magic of her own, she would gain the crown. Not Cassius. Not a husband. And then maybe she could change everything for the better. No more treason or banishment. No need to sell the magic in secret. She thought of her favorite book again. She had no boat to leave the sea, no skills as a sailor, but perhaps she culd have a similar voyage of her own. If they could not sail away to some better land, then the only choice was to make this land better. ~ Cora Carmack
Nova Scotia quotes by Cora Carmack
Know who I am? ... 'Good Bye Mister' is my name ... 'Wind and Dust' is my name ... 'Never Happened' is my name ... ~ William S. Burroughs
Nova Scotia quotes by William S. Burroughs
The point is, every book we had could save us in a different way
only, we had to open it. We had to drop our eyes to the page and drink in the words that were there. ~ Nova Ren Suma
Nova Scotia quotes by Nova Ren Suma
I could see her smile. I wished I hadn't because it was the kind of smile she never gave to me. It was a smile for a boy who wanted to know her and never would. A smile for a girl who wanted to be like her and never could be. A smile for a perfect stranger. ~ Nova Ren Suma
Nova Scotia quotes by Nova Ren Suma
Where was the star?
Take concepts like "distant," "isolate," "faint," and give them precise mathematical expression. They'll vanish under such articulation.
But just before they do, that's where it lay.
"My star." Lorq swept vanes aside so they could see. "That's my sun. That's my nova, with eight-hundred-year-old-light. ~ Samuel R. Delany
Nova Scotia quotes by Samuel R. Delany
Once we have total power, what's to keep us from becoming villains ourselves? ~ Marissa Meyer
Nova Scotia quotes by Marissa Meyer
The truth for a novelist isn;t the same as the facts . . . When a writer is successful in using a story taken from experience, it is not told exactly the way it happened, but in the way that reveals, through all one's beliefs, hopes, and fear, how the event should have happened. ~ Craig Nova
Nova Scotia quotes by Craig Nova
Maybe we've been taking nova precautions for a red dwarf. ~ Hal Clement
Nova Scotia quotes by Hal Clement
The world doesn't revolve around the Renegades! ~ Marissa Meyer
