Moss is inconceivably strong. moss eats stone; scarcely anything, in return, eats moss. moss dines upon boulders, slowly but devastatingly, in a meal that lasts for centuries. given enough time, a colony of moss can turn a cliff into gravel, and turn that gravel into topsoil.

It's tough to know who's better in cliff diving. like, you see a guy diving off a cliff and you go, oh, man, a guy diving off a cliff! and then another guy'd dive- oh, there's another guy diving off a cliff there. but you can't tell who's better, y'know? like, uh- if you survive at all, hey, you're a great- you're a great cliff diver there. there's only two classifications in cliffdiving. there's, uh- 'grand champion' and then, uh- 'stuff on a rock.' very hard to make a comeback in that sport, i'll tell you that.

Every thing thinks, but according to its complexity. if this is so, then stones also think...and this stone thinks only i stone, i stone, i stone. but perhaps it cannot even say i. it thinks: stone, stone, stone... god enjoys being all, as this stone enjoys being almost nothing, but since it knows no other way of being, it is pleased with its own way, eternally satisfied with itself.

When i came into metallica, i had to do justice to cliff's work, but i also had to put my own signature on it. no one could be cliff burton; cliff burton was the jimi hendrix of bass.

Because i could not stop for death, he kindly stopped for me; the carriage held but just ourselves and immortality. we slowly drove, he knew no haste, and i had put away my labour, and my leisure too, for his civility. we passed the school where children played, their lessons scarcely done; we passed the fields of gazing grain, we passed the setting sun. we paused before a house that seemed a swelling of the ground; the roof was scarcely visible, the cornice but a mound. since then 'tis centuries; but each feels shorter than the day i first surmised the horses' heads were toward eternity.

A strong woman is a woman who craves love like oxygen or she turns blue choking. a strong woman is a woman who loves strongly and weeps strongly and is strongly terrified and has strong needs. a strong woman is strong in words, in action, in connection, in feeling; she is not strong as a stone but as a wolf suckling her young. strength is not in her, but she enacts it as the wind fills a sail.

If i marry: he must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. his shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. his lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. love must be so deep that it takes its stand in christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. he must be active enough to save souls. he must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. his arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.

There is no failure except in no longer trying. there is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.

I would say if a man is going to write on chemistry, he learns chemistry. the same is true of christianity. but to speak of the craft itself, i would not know how to advise a man how to write. it is a matter of talent and interest. i believe he must be strongly moved if he is to become a writer. writing is like a 'lust,' or like 'scratching when you itch.' writing comes as a result of a very strong impulse, and when it does come, i for one must get it out.

The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. the lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. never brag of being strong. the axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. it cuts them to pieces. but not the leaves. it leaves the leaves alone.
Strong Cutting Wind
It is the business of the very few to be independent; it is a privilege of the strong.
