“The wind comes across the plains not howling but singing. It's the difference between this wind and its big-city cousins: the full-throated wind of the plains has leeway to seek out the hidden registers of its voice. Where immigrant farmers planted windbreaks a hundred and fifty years ago. it keens in protest; where the young corn shoots up, it whispers as it passes, crossing field after field in its own time, following eastward trends but in no hurry to find open water. You can't usually see it in paintings, but it's an important part of the scenery.”
― John Darnielle, Universal Harvester

“Wind is the most skilled hairdresser! Find a windy weather and let your hair be shaped creatively!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“Steel weighs more than wind.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

“[my father in law] told me I was nothing but trouble. I felt the truth of that. I really am nothing. . . . Nothing with a body. I create a kind of displacement around myself as I pass through the world, which can fairly be called trouble. This is a mystery, I believe. . . . It’s why I keep to myself. When I can.”
― Marilynne Robinson
