He was hanging on, looking for a life preserver. He was a desperate man clutching at straws.

When I feel that my life is out of control I start clutching at straws and those straws all relate to my weight or my health.
Billie Piper
(referring to his drink) I got two straws here, in case one breaks down. You know Crazy Straws, they go all over the place? These f**kin' straws are sane. They never lost their minds. They said, "We're going straight to the mouth. That f**ker who takes a while to get there? He's crazy."
Mitch Hedberg
A tremendous stream is flowing toward the ocean, carrying us all along with it; and though like straws and scraps of paper we may at times float aimlessly about, in the long run we are sure to join the Ocean of Life and Bliss.
Swami Vivekananda
There is not wind enough to twirl
The one red leaf, the last of its clan,
That dances as often as dance it can,
Hanging so light, and hanging so high,
On the topmost twig that looks up at the sky.Samuel Taylor Coleridge
