Quotes About Spirals

Mis ojos, faros de angustia, trazan señales misteriosas en los mares desiertos. Y eterna, la llama de mi corazón sube en espirales a iluminar el horizonte.
~ Alfonsina Storni
I think great artists have no time to waste with having disproportionate egos and irrational requests. They're too focused on their work to actually lose themselves in hysterical spirals where they become monsters or tyrants.
~ Xavier Dolan
Imulai Mokarengen has four great archives, one for each compass point. The greatest of them is the South Archive, with its windows the color of regret and walls where vines trace out spirals like those of particles in cloud chambers.

Our thoughts make spirals in their world.
~ Algernon Blackwood
felt the DMT release my soul's energy and push it through the DNA. It's what happened when I lost my body. There were spirals that reminded me of things I've seen at Chaco Canyon. Maybe that was DNA. Maybe the ancients knew that. The DNA is backed into the universe like space travel. One needs to travel without one's body. It's ridiculous to think about space travel in little ships.
~ Rick Strassman
All of our longings are trapped in circles where there is no beginning and no end.
~ Jennifer Richard Jacobson
The whole universe is based on rhythms. Everything happens in circles, in spirals.

The greatest gift of all time is that you can make creation infectious because people spend less time being negative... If you log all the time with negativity in the while world, I wonder how much better the world would be if people sat down and did something positive. It spirals.
~ Skrillex
Davanti alla natura sentivo quello che provavo dopo avere fatto del buon sesso. Trascinata dalla sua energia incommensurabile, intravedevo qua e là delle forme sensuali, quasi celate: i boccioli cilindrici dei fiori di ciliegio, le linee rette delle foglie di giunco, le spirali dei mulinelli che si formavano nell'acqua attorno ai sassi. La sola vista di ciò bastava a farti provare un piacere fisico.
~ Banana Yoshimoto
Down in the street little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper into spirals, and though the sun was shining and the sky a harsh blue, there seemed to be no color in anything except the posters that were plastered everywhere.
~ George Orwell
My shell collection Here are my shells, orderly to the eye, mysterious to the mind. Some are rough and grainy, others are soft and pearly. Mine are all empty, but out in the sea there are empty ones too – as many as there are full. When the creatures emerge, they leave part of themselves behind. That is why I think of these spirals as living though they are asleep in their forms.
~ Sarah Emily Miano
The children watch a distant point. Lamps go out. Some blind girls question the moon and spirals of grief rise in the air. The mountains survey a distant point. - After Passing By

Out of nothingness arises the sign of infinity; beneath the ever-rising spirals slowly sinks the gaping hole. The land and the water make numbers joined, a poem written with flesh and stronger than steel or granite. Through endless night the earth whirls toward a creation unknown…
~ Henry Miller
Everything is made of words, and the words had done their job. I could even say they had done it well. They had risen in a confusing swarm and spun around in spirals, ever higher, colliding and separating, golden insects, messengers of friendship and knowledge, higher, higher, into that region of the sky where the day turns into night and reality into dreams, regal words on their nuptial flight, always higher, until their marriage is finally consummated at the summit of the world.
~ César Aira
On that night the sky laid bare its internal construction in many sections which, like quasi-anatomical exhibits, showed the spirals and whorls of light, the pale-green solids of darkness, the plasma of space, the tissue of dreams.
~ Bruno Schulz
A minha memoria move-se em circulos, espirais e saltos de trapezista.
~ Isabel Allende
Sunflowers and seashells and logarithmic spirals (said Kerewin); sweep of galaxies and the singing curve of the universe (said Kerewin); the oscilating wave thrumming in the nothingness of every atom's heart (said Kerewin); did you think I could build a square house? So the round shell house holds them all in its spiralling embrace. Noise and riot, peace and quiet, all is music in this sphere.
~ Keri Hulme
And Esme remembered in a rush--the wolfsong, the haunting, lyrical spirals of it in the dawn quiet and the feeling of euphoria that had attended it. Even in recollection the howling uplifted her like the crescendo at the end of a symphony and made her heartbeat quicken.
~ Laini Taylor
The great spirals... apparently lie outside our stellar system.
~ Edwin Powell Hubble
