Gust Quotes

Quotes on wind, momentum, and the fleeting rush of a gust.

These gust quotes capture wind as a disruptive, almost theatrical force, like the moment a stray breeze scattered a script during an outdoor audition. Other lines picture a gust lifting a skirt mid-performance or carrying a song's message across a crowd, tying the image to nature quotes more broadly.

One of my favorites is 'The Sound of Music'. When Julie Andrews runs through the hills singing her head off, I always wish that a gust of wind would blow her skirt up.

Quotes by Kathryn Hahn

There is a powerful need for people to feel that gust of hope rise up again.

Quotes by Cat Stevens

'Peace Train' is a song I wrote, the message of which continues to breeze thunderously through the hearts of millions. There is a powerful need for people to feel that gust of hope rise up again.

Quotes by Cat Stevens

Energy Quotes

Each sudden gust of light explains itself as flames, but neither they, nor even bombs redoubled on the hills tonight can quite include me in their fear.

Quotes by Andrew Motion
