“Language is a door. Words en-trance and are an entrance; they draw you in. When you read, the book you cradle disappears and the tales within unfold in your mind. Writing is a shelter of words and reading an interior adventure.”
Laurie Seidler“How fragile we are under the sheltering sky. Behind the sheltering sky is a vast dark universe, and we're just so small.”
Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky“Friendship is a sheltering tree.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge“Ladies sheltering behind men, men sheltering behind servants - the whole system's wrong, and she must challenge it.”
E.M. Forster, Howards End“Whatever it is that isn't uplifting or educating your mind, surely doesn't deserve a moment of shelter in it.”
“The return of the rain, beating out time on London's rooftops and pavements. Early morning Zombies sheltering beneath copies of the Standard whilst others ran screaming for cover in doorways because water from the heavens is holy and melts the undead.”
Stephen J. Day, Horizontal - The Recumbent Adventures of Philias Switchmoat“The act of writing, it seems to me, makes up a shelter, allows space to what would otherwise be hidden, crossed out, mutilated. Sometimes writing can work toward a reparation, making a sheltering space for the mind. Yet it feeds off ruptures, tears in what might otherwise seem a seamless, oppressive fabric.”
Meena Alexander, The Shock of Arrival: Reflections on Postcolonial Experience“You see, we were able to give you something, something which even now no one will ever take from you, and we were able to do that principally by sheltering you. Hailsham would not have been Hailsham if we hadn’t. Very well, sometimes that meant we kept things from you, lied to you. Yes, in many ways we fooled you, I suppose you could even call it that. But we sheltered you during those years, and we gave you your childhoods. Lucy was well-meaning enough. But if she’d have her way, your happiness at Hailsham would have been shattered. Look at you both now! I’m so proud to see you both. You built your lives on what we gave you. You wouldn’t be who you are today if we’d not protected you. You wouldn’t have become absorbed in your lessons, you wouldn’t have lost yourselves in your art and your writing. Why should you have done, knowing what lay in store for each of you? You would have told us it was all pointless, and how could we have argued with you? So she had to go.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go“The shadow escapes from the body like an animal we had been sheltering.”
Gilles Deleuze, Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation“Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
