“Get me a drink of water, please, and something to quiet my belly. It’s rumbling so much I can’t hear myself think.”

“It was so quiet, a reservation kind of quiet, where you can hear somebody drinking whiskey on the rocks three miles away.”

Sherman Alexie book The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven

“You've been quiet lately… but it's not so much the quiet as something inside the quiet.”

Shannon Hale Forest Born

“Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any other creative art. The water is free. So drink. Drink and be filled up.”

Stephen King (1947) American author

“To me the great divide is between the talkative and the quiet. Do they just say everything that’s on their minds, even before it’s on their minds? Sometimes I think I could just turn up my head like a walkman so what’s going on there could be heard by others. But there would still be a difference. For inside the head they are talking to people like them, and I am talking to someone like me: he is quiet and doesn’t much like being talked at; he can’t conceal how easily he gets bored.”

James Richardson (1950) American poet

“Excuse me please one more drink.
Could make it strong cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart, my Grace is gone.
One more drink and I’ll move on.
One more drink and I’ll be gone.”

Dave Matthews (1967) American singer-songwriter, musician and actor

“I can’t think of you and myself apart. You and I are the same to me”

Leo Tolstoy book Anna Karenina

“He gestured at me. “That’s Belly.”
“Belly?” she repeated.
“Yup. She’s my girlfriend.”
I think I choked out loud.”

Jenny Han (1980) American writer

“I don’t think of myself as being a celebrity, it’s too mortifying. I have a hard time watching myself on screen and it’s getting worse. I can’t tell whether my work is good or not.”

Johnny Depp (1963) American actor, film producer, and musician

“The likeness of this world is as the water of the sea - however much a thirsty person drinks from it, his thirst increases so much so that the water kills him.”

Musa al-Kadhim (745–799) Seventh of the Twelve Imams and regarded by Sunnis as a renowned scholar
