Here
are are a number of bead-related quotes I have found. Enjoy!
I learned that you
should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but
like child stringing beads in kindergarten - happy, absorbed and
quietly putting one bead on after another. Brenda Ueland
Life
is a train of moods like a string of beads; and as we pass through them
they prove to be many colored lenses, which paint the world their own
hue, and each shows us only what lies in its own focus. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Method
is more important than strength, when you wish to control your enemies.
By dropping golden beads near a snake, a crow once managed To have a
passer-by kill the snake for the beads.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
[O]ur forebears are deserving of tribute for one indisputable reason,
if for no other: without them we should not be here. Let us recognize
that we are not the ultimate triumph but rather we are beads on a
string. Let us behave with decency to the beads that were strung before
us and hope modestly that the beads that come after us will not hold us
of no account simply because we are dead. Robertson Davies
America is a place where Jewish
merchants sell Zen love beads to agnostics for Christmas. John Burton Brimer
These heroes of finance are like
beads on a string, when one slips off, all the rest follow. Henrik Ibsen
[Fry]: "Brothers and sisters, get your love beads! Can't journey
to the centre of your mind without love beads!"
[Hippy girl]: "Wow, look at the colours! This'll go great with my soul"
[Zoidberg]: "Glad you like them! I've been making fine jewelry for
years, apparently." From Futurama (Episode: "Bendin' in the Wind")
