Taiye Selasi That’s what makes writer’s block so painful. You think the well has run dry, maybe somewhere in the heavens the tap has been turned off. That’s beyond frightening. – Taiye Selasi
Tahl Raz Oil wells never really run dry. A big company will drain maybe 40% of a field. Pulling out the rest of the oil, which requires an outlay of incrementally more cash per barrel, often proves uneconomical for big companies with big overheads. – Tahl Raz
Svetlana Alexievich I’ve been searching for a genre that would be most adequate to my vision of the world to convey how my ear hears and my eyes see life. I tried this and that, and finally, I chose a genre where human voices speak for themselves. But I don’t just record a dry history of events and facts; I’m writing a history of human feelings. – Svetlana Alexievich
Suki Waterhouse I can stay in the bath for, well, the longest has been seven or eight hours. I get completely set up with my laptop so I can watch ‘The Sopranos,’ put out some scented candles, music. I have a towel nearby so I can dry my hand to change the music or the TV. I make a little heaven for myself. And then I just refill and refill. – Suki Waterhouse
Suki Waterhouse If I want to look half decent, a blow dry is a godsend. I’m crap at doing my own hair. – Suki Waterhouse
Suki Waterhouse I will do crazy skincare things in the kitchen… I love coconut oil, so if I come home at night feeling all dry and like a fossil, I’ll put my hand in a jar of coconut oil and just mush it over my face. – Suki Waterhouse
Sue Townsend I always have this image of a woman running across a desert carrying children, trying to find water and food, not knowing when they’ll get that. And her feet are slashed up from the dry, hard earth… Even when I’m uncomfortable, sometimes in pain, or just cold… I think, ‘Thank God for what I’ve got.’ – Sue Townsend
Sue Hubbell Every spring, I begin cutting my firewood for the upcoming winter. It should be cut months ahead of time so it will dry and cure. – Sue Hubbell
Sucheta Dalal While the middle class is bled dry to meet various the expenditure of a bloated government machinery, every revenue collection agency is busy extorting money instead of ensuring compliance. – Sucheta Dalal
Stone Cold Steve Austin Don’t look forward to me putting on the trunks and knee braces to get back in the ring and stomp a mudhole in somebody and walking it dry. – Stone Cold Steve Austin
Stephen Graham Jones I feel very at home in L.A., I think, because it’s dry, and there’s sun, like the West Texas I grew up in. – Stephen Graham Jones
Stephen Bayley In an age robbed of religious symbols, going to the shops replaces going to the church. We have a free choice, but at a price. We can win experience, but never achieve innocence. Marx knew that the epic activities of the modern world involve not lance and sword but dry goods. – Stephen Bayley
