  • There are so many ways a family can unravel. All it takes is a tiny slash of selfishness, a rip of greed, a puncture of bad luck. And yet, woven tightly, family can be the strongest bond imaginable.

    Rip   Greed   Luck  
    Jodi Picoult (2013). “The Storyteller”, p.456, Simon and Schuster

    Cutting   Hair   Special  
    "The Nuremberg Interviews". Book by Leon Goldensohn, Robert Gellately, 2004.
  • One of the metaphors of the book is the carpet. Not just the flying carpet, but the carpet as a woven surface in which many repetitions and motifs recur and mirror one another. This is very much reflected within the stories: they have borders within borders, repeated motifs which change. They have their feet in oral conventions, and for the mnemonics, the storyteller needs to have a structure in order to remember the stories.

  • Why should we girls not have the same privileges as men? Why do we police ourselves so stringently- whittling each other down with cutting remarks or holding ourselves back from greatness with a harness woven of fear and shame and longing? If we do not deem ourselves worthy first, how shall we ever ask for more?

    Libba Bray (2015). “The Gemma Doyle Trilogy”, p.1487, Delacorte Press

  • Jesus! it is the name which moves the harps of heaven to melody. Jesus! the life of all our joys. If there be one name more charming, more precious than another, it is this name. It is woven into the very warp and woof of our psalmody. Many of our hymns begin with it, and scarcely any, that are good for anything, end without it. It is the sum total of all delights. It is the music with which the bells of heaven ring; a song in a word; an ocean for comprehension, although a drop for brevity; a matchless oratorio in two syllables; a gathering up of the hallelujahs of eternity in five letters.

    Song   Jesus   Ocean  
    Charles Spurgeon (2016). “Morning and Evening”, p.158, Discovery House

  • Man's history is woven into waterways, for not only did he live beside them, but he used them as highways for hunting, exploration, and trade. Water assured his welfare, its absence meant migration or death, its constancy nourished his spirit. A mountain, a desert, or a great forest might serve his need of strength, but water reflects his inner needs.

    Men   Hunting   Water  
    Sigurd F. Olson (2012). “Wilderness Days”, p.44, U of Minnesota Press

    Silence   Female   Woven

  • The fact that 'A Dirty Job' has comedy and supernatural horror in it, that both are woven in and out of it with a whimsical tone, despite the fact that it's about death, makes it hard to characterize with standard genre labels - but I have no problem with that. I'd call it a funny story about death, and leave it at that.

    Jobs   Dirty   Woven

    History   Woven   Thread  
    Jacqueline Carey (2011). “Kushiel's Dart”, p.53, Pan Macmillan

    Woven   Violet   Said

  • Jesus, I wondered, what do you do with pain so bad it has no redeeming value? It cannot even be alchemized into art, into words, into something you can chalk up to an interesting experience because the pain itself, its intensity, is so great that it has woven itself into your system so deeply that there is no way to objectify or push it outside or find its beauty within. That is the pain I’m feeling now. Its so bad, its useless. The only lesson I will ever derive from this pain is how bad pain can be.

    Jesus   Art   Pain  
    Elizabeth Wurtzel (2014). “Prozac Nation: Young and Depressed in America”, p.231, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

  • The web of this world is woven of Necessity and Chance. Woe to him who has accustomed himself from his youth up to find something necessary in what is capricious, and who would ascribe something like reason to Chance and make a religion of surrendering to it.

    Atheism   World   Woe  
  • In Asian languages, the word for mind and the word for heart are the same word.

    Heart   Mind   Asian  
    Jon Kabat-Zinn (2013). “Arriving at Your Own Door: 108 Lessons in Mindfulness”, p.2, Hachette UK
  • Listen, in dreams and especially in nightmares, from indigestion or anything, a man sees sometimes such artistic visions, such complex and real actuality, such events, even a whole world of events, woven into such a plot, with such unexpected details from the most exalted matters to the last button on a cuff, as I swear Leo Tolstoy has never invented.

    Dream   Real   Men  
    Fyodor Dostoevsky (2015). “The Brothers Karamazov”, p.974, First Avenue Editions
  • It is not just that animals make the world more scenic or picturesque. The lives of animals are woven into our very being - closer than our own breathing - and our soul will suffer when they are gone.

    Loss   Animal   Breathing  
  • The melancholy river bears us on. When the moon comes through the trailing willow boughs, I see your face, I hear your voice and the bird singing as we pass the osier bed. What are you whispering? Sorrow, sorrow. Joy, joy. Woven together, like reeds in moonlight.

    Moon   Voice   Rivers  
    Virginia Woolf (2015). “The String Quartet”, p.5, Booklassic
  • A spiritually optimistic point of view holds that the universe is woven out of a fabric of love. Everything that is happening is ultimately for the good if we're willing to face it head-on and use our adversities for soul growth.

  • The film [Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth] opens with an Albanian blood feud and goes on to delve into, for instance, prison systems, underpaid tomato pickers, the gulf oil spill. It's all woven together in a sensuous, oblique way that's not the same as the single-message kind of documentary we're used to, with an "answer" at the end. It's more like an exploration. Sort of like what you do with Birth of a Nation.

    Oil   Blood   Together  
  • New Orleans is unlike any city in America. Its cultural diversity is woven into the food, the music, the architecture - even the local superstitions. It's a sensory experience on all levels and there's a story lurking around every corner.

  • Then the voices of the Ainur, like unto harps and lutes, and pipes and trumpets, and viols and organs, and like unto countless choirs singing with words, began to fashipn the theme of Iluvatar to a great music; and a sound arose of endless interchanging melodies woven in harmony that passed beyond hearing into the depths and into the heights, and the places of the dwelling of Iluvatar were filled to overflowing, and the music and the echo of the music went out into the Void, and it was not void.

    Echoes   Voice   Dwelling  
  • Hearts united in pain and sorrow will not be separated by joy and happiness. Bonds that are woven in sadness are stronger than the ties of joy and pleasure. Love that is washed by tears will remain eternally pure and faithful.

    Spiritual   Pain   Heart  
  • What is already woven cannot be undone. It will not make the trees grow again for you to bring the building down on our heads.

    Tree   Woven   Building  
    Robert Jordan, Chuck Dixon “Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World #30”, Dynamite
  • I see the carpet reflecting that narratological structure of the storytelling, with Scheherazade as the outside frame story on the outside, with the stories woven on the inside. It's also demonstrative of the infinity of it, with no beginning and no end. The carpet is also a kind of metonym for cinema, this idea that the flat surface carries a terrific depth of imaginative field while remaining totally flat.
