Hey you ! out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me
Hey you ! Standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me
Hey you ! don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.
Hey you ! out there on your own
sitting naked by the phone would you touch me
Hey you ! with your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me
Hey you ! would you help me to carry the stone
Open your heart, I'm coming home
But it was only a fantasy
The wall was too high as you can see
No matter how he tried he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain.
Hey you ! out there on the road
Always doing what you're told, can you help me
Hey you ! out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me
Hey you ! don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall. ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
In the end, my children put me on to Pink Floyd when they were teenagers. ~ Tom Stoppard
Pink Floyd quotes by Tom Stoppard
As everyone else, I was a fan of Pink Floyd in the sixties. ~ Klaus Schulze
Pink Floyd quotes by Klaus Schulze
If you had a successful TV show, people wanted to see you live. Promoters had had practice with pop groups, and 'Python' achieved a similar status. We also had lots of rock star fans - George Harrison, Pink Floyd, Robert Plant. Promoters saw that and liked it. ~ Michael Palin
Pink Floyd quotes by Michael Palin

Pretty damned impressive! ~ Sienna McQuillen
Pink Floyd quotes by Sienna McQuillen
Adrian Maben came to us with the idea. And we just thought, "Well, why not?" I don't think any of us thought it would be as well received and last in people's minds for as long as it did. All credit to him. It's his idea [Pink Floyd at Pompeii] and it was great. ~ David Gilmour
Pink Floyd quotes by David Gilmour
I felt like the girl who showed up at a formal dinner party in jeans and a Pink Floyd T-shirt. Probably 'cause I did that once. ~ Darynda Jones
Pink Floyd quotes by Darynda Jones
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life. ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
I wish I weren't single now;
I need someone to lick me back to form. ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
There's someone in my head, but it's not me. ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
I think that cheap music often does make you dream more than more serious music, whether that's serious music by Beethoven or Miles Davis or Pink Floyd ... if the Floyd ever did serious music, which I seriously doubt. ~ Jonathan Meades
Pink Floyd quotes by Jonathan Meades
A brick could be used to say hi to Pink Floyd. ~ Jarod Kintz
Pink Floyd quotes by Jarod Kintz
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I. ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
And I am not frightened of dying
Any time will do, I don't mind
Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime

If you can hear this whispering you are dying

"The Great Gig in the Sky ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall. ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
There are so many ingredients that are contained in 'The Wall' that were not necessarily contained in other Pink Floyd records, particularly following on from 'Animals,' which was very spare and sparse. Production on it was much more massive, the complexity of the recording was much more intense. ~ Nick Mason
Pink Floyd quotes by Nick Mason
I don't know, when I was a kid, when I would see shows that changed my life, I would go to see shows where there was my mother taking us to see classic rock concerts, like Zeppelin, or when I saw Pink Floyd or when I saw, you know, when I was a little older, and I saw Nine Inch Nails, and I saw The Cure. ~ Jared Leto
Pink Floyd quotes by Jared Leto
I was listening to Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd, because that was new music for me. I really hadn't been up on them. I mean, I'd heard of them, but I wasn't up on their music. And I kept listening to Radiohead, and I was like, Man, I want to make hip-hop that feels like Radiohead. I want to make hip-hop that can use guitars and soul and jazz and just fuse it all together. ~ Will Ferrell
Pink Floyd quotes by Will Ferrell
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day?
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else here
Feel the way I do ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
There is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact it's all dark. ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
I once lost five years listening to a Pink Floyd album. ~ Jim Butcher
Pink Floyd quotes by Jim Butcher
There is no dark side of the Moon.
It's all dark, really. ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
Long you live and high you'll fly, and smiles you'll give, tears you'll cry and all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
I'm full of dust and guitars... ~ Syd Barrett
Pink Floyd quotes by Syd Barrett
Pink Floyd are one of a handful of bands I've listened to a lot and whose concerts I've been to. I love the experience. I don't dance; I just jig up and down like everybody else. ~ Tom Stoppard
Pink Floyd quotes by Tom Stoppard
I grew up in the church, with traditional hymns, but at the same time I was beginning to listen to pop music, the mid-60s, The Beatles, which had just as much influence on me as those hymns did. Then the hippy stuff like Pink Floyd started to raise questions about how I lived my life and the world in which I lived. ~ Alan Green
Pink Floyd quotes by Alan Green
The first songs I learned was 'Crazy' by Patsy Cline and 'At Last' by Etta James. I had been growing up with the Beatles, Pink Floyd, great bands. ~ Sabrina Carpenter
Pink Floyd quotes by Sabrina Carpenter
No dark sarcasm, in the classroom. ~ Roger Waters
Pink Floyd quotes by Roger Waters
My parents used to play music when we had gone to bed, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings. Often it was the last thing I heard before I fell asleep. Every now and again he played records when he was alone in his study. Steinar had told me once that he had brought a Pink Floyd LP into the classroom and played it. He had said this with awe in his voice. ~ Karl Ove Knausgaard
Pink Floyd quotes by Karl Ove Knausgaard
Syd always gets in there. ~ David Gilmour
Pink Floyd quotes by David Gilmour
I'm excited because Deanna and I are on our way toward our stated objective of becoming scholars of the early Pink Floyd.
I feel that we have a fairly good grasp of the all of the music, including the singles, through the first two albums, Piper at the Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful of Secrets, and we've done some of the groundwork on More, Ummagumma, Zabriskie Point and Atom Heart Mother, although all of those need more review.
Anyway, #feelingchuffed ~ Sienna ~ Sienna McQuillen
Pink Floyd quotes by Sienna McQuillen
Btw Pink Floyd album out in October is called 'The Endless River.' Based on 1994 sessions is Rick Wright's swansong and very beautiful. ~ Polly Samson
Pink Floyd quotes by Polly Samson
I'm in competition with myself and I'm losing. ~ Roger Waters
Pink Floyd quotes by Roger Waters
There are so many people out there who think they are fans of Pink Floyd - and certainly the work I did in Pink Floyd - who are still furious that I left. ~ Roger Waters
Pink Floyd quotes by Roger Waters
Her sister Lea had an ancient book of myths and legends, and there was all kinds of info in there - of course Lea had written that book herself, so how much could it be counted on for accuracy? For instance, under the heading of "Gods and Demigods," you could find entries for The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin. She'd also added a new "tribe" consisting of her favorite cartoon characters, naming them The Animatus. ~ Bethany K. Lovell
Pink Floyd quotes by Bethany K. Lovell
I like expansive stuff that has a lot of space in it, like some of the early Pink Floyd albums. ~ Steven Price
Pink Floyd quotes by Steven Price
When I get 13 or 14 years old, I get crazy with rock music, like, like, deeply crazy. And one of my favorite bands at that moment was, for example, like - bands like Metallica or Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Santana, you know? And then I start to play metal, actually, when I was - at the age of 15. ~ Juanes
Pink Floyd quotes by Juanes
I feel better after listening to the live album of Ummagumma and some hash. ~ Sienna McQuillen
Pink Floyd quotes by Sienna McQuillen
I don't want to be a full-time member of Pink Floyd all my life. ~ David Gilmour
Pink Floyd quotes by David Gilmour
Dude: What do Pink Floyd and Dale Earnhardt have in common?
Me: The wall was their last hit. ~ Jason Myers
Pink Floyd quotes by Jason Myers
So, Joanie came over with some ice bubble hash
not sure what that means, but it's good
and I freaked her out with some Pink Floyd. She didn't know the early stuff so much.
We went out into the garden with a fairly big-screen laptop, it was warmish, and after we were high and drinking a few beers, I played for her these videos, in this order:
Jugband Blues
Astronomy Domine (2x, once with Syd, once with Dave)
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
One of These Days
A Saucerful of Secrets
Echoes
Comfortably Numb
She passed out on the settee and I threw a cover over her. lol ~ Sienna McQuillen
Pink Floyd quotes by Sienna McQuillen
One of my first records that I heard was 'Wish You Were Here' by Pink Floyd. ~ Dave Mustaine
Pink Floyd quotes by Dave Mustaine
Remember when you were young?
You shone like the Sun ... ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
So by the time the 60s rolled in that became a huge art form in its own right with bands like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Hendrix doing total concept albums, same thing with Pink Floyd. ~ DJ Spooky
Pink Floyd quotes by DJ Spooky
We mixed the sounds ourselves. If they were going to put the sound back onto our film [Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii.], we wanted to mix it ourselves. ~ David Gilmour
Pink Floyd quotes by David Gilmour
When punk came along, I found my generation's music. I grew up listening to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd, 'cause that was what got played in the house. But when I first saw the Stranglers, I thought, 'This is it.' ~ Robert Smith
Pink Floyd quotes by Robert Smith
The Weezer 'Blue' Album is a classic. I think My Morning Jacket's 'Circuital' is a great album to have. Any Led Zeppelin album. Pink Floyd 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' or 'Animals.' I always catch myself at concerts being like, 'Oh, I just stared at the drummer for 15 straight minutes.' I study them. ~ Christopher Mintz-Plasse
Pink Floyd quotes by Christopher Mintz-Plasse
I am a big Pink Floyd fan. That is where a lot of the concept lyrics come from. ~ Gary Cherone
Pink Floyd quotes by Gary Cherone
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
I've been to two stadium gigs in my life. One was James Brown and the other was Pink Floyd. They both sounded the same. I couldn't tell the difference between James Brown and Pink Floyd. I've never liked stadiums. ~ Boz Burrell
Pink Floyd quotes by Boz Burrell
But you have to understand, mental illness is like cholesterol. There is is good kind and the bad. Without the good kind- less flavor to life. Van Gogh, Beethoven, Edgar Allen Poe, Sylvia Plath, Pink Floyd (the early Piper at the Gates of Dawn line up), scientific breakthroughs, spiritual revolution, utopian visions, zany nationalism that kills millions- wait, that's the bad kind. Tim Dorsey (Hurricane Punch) ~ Tim Dorsey
Pink Floyd quotes by Tim Dorsey
In the end it comes down to two rival versions of the English middle afternoon. Post-Barrett, Pink Floyd kept on in a middle-afternoonish vein, but they fell in love with the idea of portentous storm clouds in the offing somewhere over Grantchester ... Barrett's afternoonishness was far more supple and engaging. It superimposed the hippie cult of eternal solstice on the pre-teatime daydreams of one's childhood, occasioned by a slick of sunlight on a chest of drawers ... His afternoonishness is lit by an importunate adult intelligence that can't quite get back to the place it longs to be ... Barrett created the same precocious longing in adolescents.
I remember 'See Emily Play' drifting across a school corridor in 1967 ... and I remember the powerful wish to stay suspended indefinitely in that music ... I also remember the quasi-adult intimation that this wasn't possible.
[from the London Review of Books for January 2, 2003] ~ Jeremy Harding
Pink Floyd quotes by Jeremy Harding
Epic is a word we often hear overused these days.
Epic is Echoes or the guitar solo in Comfortably Numb.
THAT is Epic. ~ Sienna McQuillen
Pink Floyd quotes by Sienna McQuillen
CAN YOU FREE YOURSELF ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE REALITY OF LIFE AS IT GOES ON BEFORE YOU AND WITH YOU, AND AS YOU GO ON AS PART OF IT? OR NOT? BECAUSE IF YOU CAN'T YOU STAND ON SQUARE ONE, UNTIL YOU DIE. ~ Roger Waters
Pink Floyd quotes by Roger Waters
The expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience's expectation of a Pink Floyd show. ~ David Gilmour
Pink Floyd quotes by David Gilmour
That's always attractive to me, to work with music whose form is a big question mark. Even many of my favorite bands growing up, when I was just a kid learning to play drums and guitar and everything, were bands like Pink Floyd, where the arrangement, the number of bars in each section is unconventional and often lopsided, and there will be small little instrumental interludes and that sort of thing. So those odd forms, as well as dark content, are the things that I think are continuous through all the type of projects that I've been attracted to. ~ Charlie Clouser
Pink Floyd quotes by Charlie Clouser
There's someone in my head and it's not me. PINK FLOYD ~ Marcus Chown
Pink Floyd quotes by Marcus Chown
Well, I am David Gilmour, the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd. I have been since I was 21. ~ David Gilmour
Pink Floyd quotes by David Gilmour
If the Pink Floyd and hashish expand my mind much more,
I'm going to need a larger head! ~ Sienna McQuillen
Pink Floyd quotes by Sienna McQuillen
The child is grown, the dream is gone ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
The band is just fantastic,
that is really what I think,
Oh, and by the way,
which one's Pink? ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
When the first list was being drawn up in the rock and roll book of Genesis, it would have been: In the beginning, God created Pink Floyd. ~ Rick Wakeman
Pink Floyd quotes by Rick Wakeman
Arnold Layne,
Don't do it again! ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
One of These Days I'm Going to Cut You Into Little Pieces. ~ Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
That one record changed everything for me. After Sgt. Pepper, it's the most influential record in the history of rock and roll. It affected Pink Floyd deeply, deeply, deeply. Philosophically, other albums may have been more important, like Lennon's first solo album. But sonically, the way the record's constructed, I think Music from Big Pink is fundamental to everything that happened after it. ~ Roger Waters
Pink Floyd quotes by Roger Waters
We're not ignored by The Guinness Book Of Records, but we've been largely ignored by the media during our lifetime. If you read any article, no mention is ever made of Pink Floyd. We're never included in the same sentences as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who. I wrote 'The Wall' as an attack on stadium rock - and there's Pink Floyd making money out of it by playing it in stadiums! Pathetic. They spoiled my creations. ~ Roger Waters
Pink Floyd quotes by Roger Waters
My Dream Date.
Putting Pink Floyd on loop in at least a 5-CD rotation or on spotify or something, getting real high on hash while naked, making love on and off for hours, lying on the bed eating cheesy crackers and sipping a quality beer like Tetley's, Guinness or Pilsner Urquell.
Repeat as needed. ~ Sienna McQuillen
Pink Floyd quotes by Sienna McQuillen
They whirled around in the light dance of a duchess entering a ball - majestic yet understated - a spiraling splash of purity of color that took shape under nature's watch. A newly-sculpted garden burst forth, glistening in an afternoon sun. It welcomed the dusty pink rose, who stood beside its fellows, basked themselves in their own serenity of white, triumphant red, or cheery yellow. It swayed in the breath of a wind, caressing each and becoming more. It was a mixture of quiet and thunderous, light and dark, shyness and boldness. It was a mixture of the quiet strength and overwhelming courage that the human soul might wish to one day possess. ~ Gina Marinello-Sweeney
Pink Floyd quotes by Gina Marinello-Sweeney
Somewhere in the middle of the second glass that Mad Sweeney himself began to throw both details and irrelevancies into Ibis's narrative (" ... such a girl she was, with breasts cream-colored and spackled with freckles, with the tips of them the rich reddish pink of the sunrise on a day when it'll be bucketing down before noon but glorious again by supper ... ") and then Sweeney was trying, with both hands, to explain the history of the gods in Ireland, wave after wave of them as they came in from Gaul and from Spain and from every damn place, each wave of them transforming the last gods into trolls and fairies and every damn creature until Holy Mother Church herself arrived and every god in Ireland was transformed into a fairy or a saint or a dead king without so much as a by-your-leave ... Mr. ~ Neil Gaiman
Pink Floyd quotes by Neil Gaiman
Are you in love with him?"
"What?" I asked, and my heart dropped to my stomach. "Why would you ... " I wanted to argue, but the strength had gone out of my words.
"He's in love with you." He lifted his head and looked up at me. "Do you know that?"
"I-I don't know what you're talking about," I stammered. I walked over to the bed, needing to do something to busy myself, so I pulled up the sheets. "Loki is merely-"
"I see your auras," Tove interrupted me, his voice firm but not angry. "His is silver, and yours is gold. And when you're around each other, you both get a pink halo. Just now you were both glowing bright pink, and your auras intertwined. ~ Amanda Hocking
Pink Floyd quotes by Amanda Hocking
I'm a writer who simply can't know what I'm writing about until the writing lets me discover it. In a sense, my writing process embraces the gapped nature of my memory process, leaping across spaces that represent all I've lost and establishing fresh patterns within all that remains. ~ Floyd Skloot
Pink Floyd quotes by Floyd Skloot
Crossed the room to where a selection of implements was arranged on a table top. These could have been mistaken for the trade tools of a cook, physician, or torturer, save for the fact that the surface on which they rested was a slab of polished pink marble, topping a white and gilt dressing table-cum-sculpture, done up in the new, hyper-Baroque style named Rococo. It was adorned, for example, with several cherubs, bows drawn, eyes asquint, as they drew beads on unseen targets, butt cheeks polished to a luster with jeweler's rouge. It had, in other words, all the earmarks of a gift that had been sent to the princess by someone with a lot of money who did not know her very well. ~ Neal Stephenson
Pink Floyd quotes by Neal Stephenson
Tell me about Raffe."
Nothing.
"okay. Let's practice fighting," I said in an enthusiastic voice as if I'm talking to a little kid. "I could use more lessons."
Nothing.
"Right. Well, I guess I have nothing better to do now than to decorate the teddy bear with ribbons and bows. What do you think of dusky pink?"
The room wavers, then morphs. ~ Susan Ee
Pink Floyd quotes by Susan Ee
And books all over the floor, some stocked in piles, some worn-looking, some brand-new, some splayed upside down, some sliding off the pink bedside table next to the lamp with the orange fabric shade. ~ Rebecca Stead
Pink Floyd quotes by Rebecca Stead
I think I've been lucky enough to have had an extended adolescence. I'm a lot like I was when I was 15. ~ Ariel Pink
Pink Floyd quotes by Ariel Pink
Shouting something to the bartender about the usual for the ladies and something pink for the pretty boy. On second thought, this was going to be a long night. ~ Christina Lauren
Pink Floyd quotes by Christina Lauren
I'm a firm believer that before you can go anywhere, you have to conquer the level that you are at, just like young kids do it today with video games, they have to finish one level to go to the next one. Conquer one level at the time, and only then you'll get where you want to go to. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Pink Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Ian turned around, revealing a tear in his pants that exposed boxers with pink dollar signs on a white background, then quickly spun back around. "Uh, never mind. ~ Peter Lerangis
Pink Floyd quotes by Peter Lerangis
I did a little movie called 'Touch of Pink,' where I played a Cary Grant-type guy, which I thought was a lot of fun, and I thought I was moderately successful in my own interpretation of Cary Grant. ~ Kyle MacLachlan
Pink Floyd quotes by Kyle MacLachlan
The ultimate goal is to always break records. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Pink Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Pink is the navy blue of India. ~ Diana Vreeland
Pink Floyd quotes by Diana Vreeland
Golf is a game, and games are meant to be enjoyed. ~ Raymond Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Raymond Floyd
I warn every reader of this [article] to beware of quack medicines in religion. Beware of supposing that penitence, reformation, formality, and priestcraft[40] can ever give you peace with God. They cannot do it. It is not in them. The man who says they can must be ignorant of two things: he cannot know the length and breadth of human sinfulness; he cannot understand the height and depth of the holiness of God. There never breathed the man or woman on earth who tried to cleanse himself from his sins and in so doing obtained relief. ~ Arthur W. Pink
Pink Floyd quotes by Arthur W. Pink
Most people should be talking about how Floyd Mayweather is a great undefeated future Hall of Famer that's his own promoter and that works extremely hard to get to where he's at. Instead, all you hear is hate and jealous remarks from critics who criticize me and, you know, most of the time, the people that criticize me can't do what I can do. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Pink Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
I'm in love with Ariana Grande - she's got a very curious personality; I hear she loves Freddy Krueger, and I love Freddy Krueger, which makes me feel like we'd be perfect for each other. ~ Ariel Pink
Pink Floyd quotes by Ariel Pink
I used to have pink hair," I told Seven.
"I used to have a real job," he answered.
"What happened?"
He shrugged. "I dyed my hair pink. What happened to you? ~ Jodi Picoult
Pink Floyd quotes by Jodi Picoult
I was extreme ... from skateboarder to hip-hopper to rave child to lead singer of a rock band - I did it all, and all at the same time. ~ Pink
Pink Floyd quotes by Pink
My absolute favorite movie of all time is Pink Floyd's 'The Wall.' Nothing compares to it. I have seen it thousands of times and still watch it every few weeks. ~ Pauley Perrette
Pink Floyd quotes by Pauley Perrette
Flannery O'Connor's brief life and slim output were nonetheless marked by piercing powers of observation. ~ Floyd Skloot
Pink Floyd quotes by Floyd Skloot
Zoe had dressed up for their meeting with Dr. Marriott in a long Indian skirt stitched with beads and tiny mirrors, a T-shirt embossed with CAT WOMAN STRIKES AGAIN! and a short-sleeved pink hoodie. To top it off, she wore a bracelet made from typewriter keys. She was sure Dr. Marriott would love it, seeing as typewriters were right up his alley. ~ Christine Brodien-Jones
Pink Floyd quotes by Christine Brodien-Jones
Benji usually tries to match his hair with his underwear, and you know how he had the pink hair for a while well we caught him in a pink thong one day! ~ Joel Madden
Pink Floyd quotes by Joel Madden
Case shuffled into the nearest door and watched the other passengers as he rode. A pair of predatory-looking Christian Scientists were edging toward a trio of young office techs who wore idealized holographic vaginas on their wrists, wet pink glittering under the harsh lighting. The techs licked their perfect lips nervously and eyed the Christian Scientists from beneath lowered metallic lids. The girls looked like tall, exotic grazing animals, swaying gracefully and unconsciously with the movement of the train, their high heels like polished hooves against the gray metal of the car's floor. Before they could stampede, take flight from the missionaries, the train reached Case's station. ~ William Gibson
Pink Floyd quotes by William Gibson
I'm hoping to find an advertisement for a job that entails worrying when removing your hand from your pockets because you always think that you are dropping something so you turn around and check the ground and shit but nothing, but maybe something, but always maybe something. ~ Sam Pink
Pink Floyd quotes by Sam Pink
How can you get tired of playing golf? ~ Raymond Floyd
Pink Floyd quotes by Raymond Floyd
Here's what I've got, the reasons why our marriage
might work: Because you wear pink but write poems
about bullets and gravestones. Because you yell
at your keys when you lose them, and laugh,
loudly, at your own jokes. Because you can hold a pistol,
gut a pig. Because you memorize songs, even commercials
from thirty years back and sing them when vacuuming.
You have soft hands. Because when we moved, the contents
of what you packed were written inside the boxes.
Because you think swans are overrated.
Because you drove me to the train station. You drove me
to Minneapolis. You drove me to Providence.
Because you underline everything you read, and circle
the things you think are important, and put stars next
to the things you think I should think are important,
and write notes in the margins about all the people
you're mad at and my name almost never appears there.
Because you make that pork recipe you found
in the Frida Khalo Cookbook. Because when you read
that essay about Rilke, you underlined the whole thing
except the part where Rilke says love means to deny the self
and to be consumed in flames. Because when the lights
are off, the curtains drawn, and an additional sheet is nailed
over the windows, you still believe someone outside
can see you. And one day five summers ago,
when you couldn't put gas in your car, when your fridge
was so empty - n ~ Matthew Olzmann
Pink Floyd quotes by Matthew Olzmann
Light flooded their senses; for a split second Olivia, blinking in its brilliance, thought the light was actually yellow. Then she blinked again, and the room itself was yellow: yellow roses climbing the walls, a white and yellow canopy- of course, a canopy- matching the wadded silk bedspread, braided yellow rugs strewn across the bare wooden floorboards. Abby gave a little cry and ran to the curved windows opposite, where a riot of yellow and pink throw pillows lined the window seat. ~ Susan Gilbert-Collins
Pink Floyd quotes by Susan Gilbert-Collins
I wonder why Miss Kosugi's lectures are always so stiff. Is she a fool? It makes me sad. She went on and on, explaining to us about patriotism, but wasn't that pretty obvious? I mean, everyone loves the place where they were born. I felt bored. Resting my chin on my desk, I gazed idly out the window. The clouds were beautiful, maybe because it was so windy. There were four roses blooming in a corner of the yard. One was yellow, two were white, and one was pink. I sat there agape, looking at the flowers, and thought to myself, There are really good things about human beings. I mean, it's humans who discovered the beauty of flowers, and humans who admire them. At ~ Osamu Dazai
Pink Floyd quotes by Osamu Dazai
A shadow has fallen in the room. The baby pays no attention - she bites the foreign finger, cooing and squealing. I feel a lump rising in my throat. She seems like a miracle to me, pink and white with copper curls, flowering here in this desolate, half-looted room, among us adult human beings so mired in filth. And suddenly I realize why the warriors are drawn to the little baby. ~ Anonymous
Pink Floyd quotes by Anonymous
Sometimes she wore Levi's with white-suede fringe sewn down the legs and a feathered Indian headdress, sometimes old fifties' taffeta dresses covered with poetry written in glitter, or dresses made of kids' sheets printed with pink piglets or Disney characters. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Pink Floyd quotes by Francesca Lia Block
