Alack, the night comes on, and the bleak winds
Do sorely ruffle; for many miles about
There's scarce a bush. ~ William Shakespeare
Ruffles quotes by William Shakespeare
She has never understood, nor been able to relate to a herd mentality. She doesn't get along with followers and avoids the bandwagon. She marches to her own tune and does it alone. She's despised by the weak-minded and respected by the strong. She ruffles the feathers of the flock because she champion's the defenseless and pick's on the mob. Does she wish she could not give a damn and live an ordinary life surrounded by nodding and needy ordinary people? At times ... but she'd be bored out of her mind when she's never bored alone, and because of that she's patient because a couple of times in a lifetime she's lucky enough to come across a memorable, magnetic and remarkable person - one worth knowing, even if just for the brevity of a conversation. ~ Donna Lynn Hope
Ruffles quotes by Donna Lynn Hope
I'm one of those people who was taught not to ruffle any feathers. Of course, I have no problem ruffling feathers. ~ Anne Heche
Ruffles quotes by Anne Heche
The whole street took part in the serenade to Flor, Flor leaning against her high window, all ruffles and lace, drenched in moonlight. Down below Vadinho, her gallant knight, with the red rose in his hand, so red it was almost black, the rose of her love. ~ Jorge Amado
Ruffles quotes by Jorge Amado
There were orchids for sale, for one and two and three and five hundred dollars, a madhouse of orchids in every color, in every shape, with wide leaves and skinny leaves and no leaves at all, with fat jutting lips and lips cupped like thimbles, and with blackish-red hoods and freckles, with ruffles, with pleats, with corkscrew curls, big as fists, small as fingernails, smelling of honey, grass, citrus, cinnamon, or of nothing, not a smell at all but just the heavy warm quality that air has after it has been sitting in a flower. ~ Susan Orlean
Ruffles quotes by Susan Orlean
Sometimes I just said, 'I don't want tilapia anymore; I can't even deal with salad. I want M&M's and Ruffles.' ~ Sherri Shepherd
Ruffles quotes by Sherri Shepherd
Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass. ~ John Steinbeck
Ruffles quotes by John Steinbeck
I am a Lolita. I do not believe in growing up. No matter how old I get, I shall remain devoted to ruffles and frills. ~ Novala Takemoto
Ruffles quotes by Novala Takemoto
I'll eat rabbit pellets before you get me into something pink with ruffles. ~ Deb Baker
Ruffles quotes by Deb Baker
I have, of all the inglorious things, a malignant hemorrhoid. What color bracelet does one wear for that? And where does one wear it? And what slogan is apropos? Perhaps that slogan can be sewn in needlepoint around the ruffle on a cover for my embarrassing little doughnut buttocks pillow. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Ruffles quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
It is a pink and blue feeling, as sharp as clear sky; a slight breeze, and the edges of Lake Nakuru would rise like the ruffle at the edge of a skirt; and I am pockmarked with whole-body pinpricks of potentiality. A stretch of my body would surely stretch as far as the sky. The whole universe poised, and I am the agent of any movement. ~ Binyavanga Wainaina
Ruffles quotes by Binyavanga Wainaina
How life is strange and changeful, and the crystal is in the steel at the point of fracture, and the toad bears a jewel in its forehead, and the meaning of moments passes like the breeze that scarcely ruffles the leaf of the willow. ~ Robert Penn Warren
Ruffles quotes by Robert Penn Warren
No. You got home and changed into a shirt that had more ruffles on it than anything I've ever seen." "It's cute," I retorted, worried he didn't think the same. "It is. So are you. It is you. My Butterfly in her wings. What it isn't is what a floozy would wear to lure her man to fuck her on her couch in front of the news. ~ Kristen Ashley
Ruffles quotes by Kristen Ashley
Plants cannot stay safe. Desire for light spools grass out of the ground; desire for a visitor spools red ruffles out of twigs. Desire makes plants very brave, so they can find what they desire; and very tender, so they can feel what they find. ~ Amy Leach
Ruffles quotes by Amy Leach
You might feel lost; you might feel nothing. You might feel trapped inside and locked outside of yourself at the same time. ~ Lydia Ruffles
Ruffles quotes by Lydia Ruffles
I have a heart-shaped hole. Like an empty bird's next, it rests among marigold-hued ruffles above the topmost hook of my corset.
The hole was not left by something removed, but for something anticipated. ~ Sharon Lynn Fisher
Ruffles quotes by Sharon Lynn Fisher
Good evening, daddy! Ain't you heard The boogie-woogie rumble Of a dream deferred? Trilling the treble And twining the bass Into midnight ruffles Of cat-gut lace. ~ Langston Hughes
Ruffles quotes by Langston Hughes
She does not look toward me but rather tosses her scarf showily over her shoulder and makes her way to the desk. The ruffles of yet another ridiculous dress whisper against the floor behind her.

Not ridiculous, I correct myself. Softness can be an armor, even if it isn't my armor. ~ Mackenzi Lee
Ruffles quotes by Mackenzi Lee
In the wind that ruffles through the trees
I can find thoughts of you whispering to me ~ Richard L. Ratliff
Ruffles quotes by Richard L.  Ratliff
It is reported of the peacock that priding himself in his gay feathers he ruffles them up; but spying his black feet he soon lets fall his plumes. So he that glories in his gifts and adornings should look upon his corruptions, and that will damp his high thoughts. ~ Anne Bradstreet
Ruffles quotes by Anne Bradstreet
Ruffles all the surface of the lake In striving from its crystal face to take Some diamond water drops, and them to treasure In milky nest, and sip them off at leisure. But not a moment can he there insure them, Nor to such downy rest can he allure them; For down they rush as though they would be free, And drop like hours into eternity. ~ John Keats
Ruffles quotes by John Keats
It ruffles me a bit, not being able to tell apart my best friend from my girlfriend from this distance. But then one of the figures dashes across the sandy trail and jumps into my arms and I'm reasonably sure it's Liv and not Perry. ~ Veronica Rossi
Ruffles quotes by Veronica Rossi
We call it a grain of sand,
but it calls itself neither grain nor sand.
It does just fine, without a name,
whether general, particular,
permanent, passing,
incorrect, or apt.

Our glance, our touch means nothing to it.
It doesn't feel itself seen and touched.
And that it fell on the windowsill
is only our experience, not its.
For it, it is not different from falling on anything else
with no assurance that it has finished falling
or that it is falling still.

The window has a wonderful view of a lake,
but the view doesn't view itself.
It exists in this world
colorless, shapeless,
soundless, odorless, and painless.

The lake's floor exists floorlessly,
and its shore exists shorelessly.
The water feels itself neither wet nor dry
and its waves to themselves are neither singular nor plural.
They splash deaf to their own noise
on pebbles neither large nor small.

And all this beheath a sky by nature skyless
in which the sun sets without setting at all
and hides without hiding behind an unminding cloud.
The wind ruffles it, its only reason being
that it blows.

A second passes.
A second second.
A third.
But they're three seconds only for us.

Time has passed like courier with urgent news.
But that's just our simile.
The character is inverted, his hasts is make believe,
his new ~ Wisława Szymborska
Ruffles quotes by Wisława Szymborska
...Miss Seeley came in.... She was a little older, a little thinner. Her tailored pinstriped suit emphasized the boniness of her figure. But she still wore hopeful white ruffles at her wrists and throat. ~ Ross Macdonald
Ruffles quotes by Ross Macdonald
She pretended to find dust ruffles feminine and cozy, but really they were just flimsy barriers beyond which lurked the malign viscosity under her bed. ~ Jincy Willett
Ruffles quotes by Jincy Willett
The light that illumines it, and reveals to a man the cathedral of his soul, can be of many strengths – from a candle to a sun – but it burns on one fuel only: his integrity. The vision contains an element of eternity that has nothing to do with time, but everything to do with the width and breadth of his life. It is measurable, but indivisible. Betrayed, it will avenge itself. The action would contradict both it and a man's ineradicable knowledge of it, leaving him, should he survive the cataclysm, a mechanical, insensate manqué, drained of all future capacity for the sublime and earthly joy. Betrayed, it will become his worst nemesis, and he the impotent enemy of the implacable justice of its memory. Animate, it can make him maddeningly intolerant and insufferably imperial, together contemptuous of lesser souls and indifferent to them. It could cause him to say to others, should he be provoked to speak to them in his thoughts: You think in terms of nooks and crannies, of niches and pigeonholes, of ruffles and fringes; I think in terms of vistas and frescoes, of oceans and continents, peopled by gods, heroes, and myself. ~ Edward Cline
Ruffles quotes by Edward Cline
All knowledge is of itself of some value. There is nothing so minute or inconsiderable that I would not rather know it than not. ~ Samuel Johnson
Ruffles quotes by Samuel Johnson
I break all the rules and wear everything. Ruffles, ostrich feathers, fox coats. You look fat in fox anyway, so if you start fat, you only look a little fatter. ~ Totie Fields
Ruffles quotes by Totie Fields
I like to be very girly, with bows and ruffles on the red carpet. I love pastel colours, especially blue. Me and my sister both because of our eyes look good in blues. ~ Elle Fanning
Ruffles quotes by Elle Fanning
Tahitians don't chase happiness. Happiness comes naturally to them. You only need to see them in the water, with a beer in their hand, splashing each other or waving to every stranger they see on the road, to know this. Happiness is in the air: in every hibiscus flower that opens early in the morning, in the sweet aroma of the pineapple plantations, in the smile of the people lolling around idly, resting slothfully in the warm breeze that ruffles the surface of the lagoon. ~ Carol Vorvain
Ruffles quotes by Carol Vorvain
O who can cure

Poor little Andromeda

Naughty naughty

Naughty thing


Tears run down her childish breast, the song being so sad. The shower has already passed and now the wind ruffles her hair, and it's squalling everywhere…


Naughty naughty

Miaow Miaow

Since no one comes to help me

I'll throw myself in the water! ~ Jules Laforgue
Ruffles quotes by Jules Laforgue
Given that you probably used to wear ... velvet bloomers, lace, high heels, and a ponytail, yeah - I guess you have changed a little," I said, and gave a slight smile in hopes of easing the depressing mood.Eli actually grinned. "That look was hot back then." He held his arms out. "Velvet coat with tails to match. Yeah, ruffles, too. I was badass. ~ Elle Jasper
Ruffles quotes by Elle Jasper
We need to be just before we are generous, as we need shirts before ruffles. ~ Nicolas Chamfort
Ruffles quotes by Nicolas Chamfort
The dancer's trembling heart must bring everything into harmony, from the tips of her shoes to the flutter of her eyelashes, from the ruffles of her dress to the incessant play of her fingers. ~ Federico Garcia Lorca
Ruffles quotes by Federico Garcia Lorca
Tranquillity is courage in repose. It is a statical manifestation of valor, as daring deeds are a dynamical. A truly brave man is ever serene; he is never taken by surprise; nothing ruffles the equanimity of his spirit. ~ Inazo Nitobe
Ruffles quotes by Inazo Nitobe
The Frenchman invented the ruffle; the Englishman added the shirt. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ruffles quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A truly brave man is ever serene; he is never taken by surprise; nothing ruffles the equanimity of his spirit. In the heat of battle he remains cool; in the midst of catastrophes he keeps level his mind. Earthquakes do not shake him, he laughs at storms. We admire him as truly great, who, in the menacing presence of danger or death, retains his self-possession; who, for instance, can compose a poem under impending peril or hum a strain in the face of death. Such indulgence betraying no tremor in the writing or in the voice, is taken as an infallible index of a large nature - of what we call a capacious mind (Yoyū), which, far from being pressed or crowded, has always room for something more. ~ Inazo Nitobe
Ruffles quotes by Inazo Nitobe
Rogues in rags are kept in countenance by rogues in ruffles. ~ Alexander Pope
