Landslide Quotes

“..I find it incredible impossible not to cry when I hear Stevie Nicks's "Landslide," especially the lyric: "I've been afraid of changing, because I've built my life around you." I think a good test to see if a human is actually a robot/android/cylon is to have them listen to this song lyric and study their reaction. If they don't cry, you should stab them through the heart. You will find a fusebox.”
― Mindy Kaling

“Do not think
I've reached where I am now
by slipping like a landslide
or evaporating like a cloud.”
― Suman Pokhrel

“Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too”
― Stevie Nicks

“The post knocks a chunk of granite loose, and the rock tumbles down the course, smacking every obstacle in its path until it crashes twenty feet in front of us. If there was ever a metaphor for my life, well... that's it.”
― Rebecca Yarros, Fourth Wing

“But, lo ! a miracle ; for on the spot where she had knelt there gushed out of the turf a little silver spring. It rippled on till it had all but encircled the knight's grave ; then it ran further and fell into a lake which lay by the side of the burial-place. And even to this day the villagers show the spring, and cherish the firm belief that it is poor, rejected Undine herself, who thus holds in fast embrace her husband with her loving arms.

Thus endeth the story of Undine and the Knight Huldbrand.”
― La Motte-Fou Freiherr de, 1777-1843; Courtney, W. L. (William Leonard), 1850-1928; Rackham, Arthur,

“Good Morning Sinkhole by Stewart Stafford

Lucky birdshit on my window,
A split-second awakening,
Another landslide out of bed,
Flailing in duvet quicksand.

Clawing at the walls going down,
Assume precarious crab-walk position,
Straining every fibre to avoid collapsing,
Land ho! with a fingertip mattress grab.

Steadying myself, I drag my carcass up,
Shaky leg muscles gain some relief,
Retake Altar of Id with a drowning sweat,
Survive to face more nightmare carpet rides.
