« All quotes from this author
 

If, as they say, some dust thrown in my eyes
Will keep my talk from getting overwise,
I'm not the one for putting off the proof.
Let it be overwhelming, off a roof
And round a corner, blizzard snow for dust,
And blind me to a standstill if it must.
--
"Dust in the Eyes" (1928)

Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend,
Before we too into the Dust descend;
Dust into Dust, and under Dust to lie
Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer, and — sans End!

 
Omar Khayyam
 

There is another earthquake in Kyoto. We appreciate it lyrically. A slide of dust slips along a roof gully. A large tree of golden petals shakes and the petals drift to the floor. Birds fly up. Bottles of clear liquid in a shop quiver on a shelf. The water in a puddle shimmers reflections up a wall. A collection of grey roof tiles shift and -- ever faster -- begin to slide down a roof slope.

 
Peter Greenaway
 

Dust, who is not dust? I am dust. But I am your Member of Parliament, nevertheless.

 
Halldor Laxness
 

What is man’s life but love, love of self;
Man is dust, dust as his passion, dust as the beloved.

 
Ghani Khan
 

First our pleasures die — and then
Our hopes, and then our fears — and when
These are dead, the debt is due,
Dust claims dust — and we die too.

 
Percy Bysshe Shelley
