"Our lives feel like these epochs, but really we are dust in the wind."
~Justin Vernon
"When I asked my mother why crowds shouted my name and said, 'We love you,'
she would dust it off by saying, 'Your work makes them happy.' She never let it go
to my head." ~Shirley Temple
"Raised in a house filled with old books, I'm drawn to them: the dust jackets that
call out a historical moment, the marbled boards, the words pressed into the
page with movable type." ~Jacob Weisberg
"Most people have already seen a cosmic collision. If you've seen a shooting
star ever, you've seen a cosmic collision, because a shooting star is not a
star. It's a tiny dust or pea sized fragment of an asteroid or a comet hitting
our atmosphere and burning up as it hits in, as it comes in."
~Heidi Hammed
"Less than the dust beneath the chariot wheel, less than the weed that grows
beside the door." ~ Adela Florence Nicolsan
"My favorite Bob Dylan record is the first on where he sings one Bob Dylan
song and the rest of them are his interpretations of the Dust bow-era folks
songs, or going back as far as the mass influx of people coming into the
U.S. during the gold rush. His interpretations of the songs are incredible."
~Chris Cornwell
"Tonight I'll dust myself off, tonight I'll suck my gut in, I'll face the night and
pretend I got something to believe in." ~Jon Bon Jovi
