Musk Quotes

“What did you get done this week? It's time to build.

Our era is dripping with vigor and drive as it is. It's had its fill of ideas, all it wants is action. This mania for action comes from having nothing to do. I mean inwardly. It's so easy to summon the drive to action and so difficult to find a meaning in it! Hardly anyone understands this nowadays. That's why men of action look like competitors in a bowling alley who know how to knock over ten wooden things with the gestures of a Napoleon. Truly, instead of demanding deeds of one another, we ought to lay the foundations for them; that is my feeling!”
― Robert Musil

“The oil smelled floral and musky, like a flowery animal.
She kept right on stroking my body.
"It has lilac, jasmine, and musk from a rutting deer," she said.
The words for the ingredients excited me. Lilac, jasmine, and musk, I said to myself. Lilac, jasmine, and musk, I must. Lilac, jasmine, and musk, I must. They sounded like an incantation. They sounded like the sexiest words in the English language.”

“83:18-28 Of course the book for the virtuous will rest in the Highest. What will make you realize what the highest are? An annotated book, which those closest to God will bear witness to. The virtuous will dwell in Bliss on couches watching. You will recognize a blissful splendor on their faces. They will be offered a sealed potion to drink whose seal will be musk. For that let rivals compete! It will be blended with a beverage from a spring where those close [to God] will drink. ”
― T. B. Irving, A Translation Of The Meaning Of The Noble Qur'an

“The roses were originally picked as much for their perfume as much for their color and form. (Unlike my first roses, which were bought purely because I was enchanted by their romantic names.) Of the basic musk, myrrh, tea, fruit and old-rose fragrances I am drawn to the latter two. Fruity is a broad bush on a night like tonight. Lady Emma Hamilton, reliable though now retired by the growers, is at her most giving: apricots and white peaches spring to mind. Gertrude Jekyll is one of the most intense of the old-rose scented varieties. She calls me over every time I set foot on the terrace.
Unlike the more generous jasmine, even the most scented rose requires us to bend a little, pushing the tip of our nose into the cluster of petals. Not so Gertrude tonight, mingling as she does with the white jasmine, hovering cloud-like over the hot stones of the terrace. I have a plan to bring the Queen of Denmark into the garden too, another old-rose scent, and I long for a decent musk rose such as Buff Beauty, exuding its faint note of cloves on a warm evening.”
― Nigel Slater, A Thousand Feasts: Small Moments of Joy… A Memoir of Sorts
