When you are young, there is so much ahead of you, it's like the Saharan desert. You can't even see across it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.
The desert is natural; when you are out there, you can get in tune with your environment, something you lose when you live in the city.
You should not see the desert simply as some faraway place of little rain. There are many forms of thirst.
A desert is a place without expectation.
The desert is cold early in the morning. Laying down on that sand is like laying on a block of ice.
I always thought that people who live in the desert are a little crazy. It could be that the desert attracts that kind of person, or that after living there, you become that. It doesn't make much difference. But now I've done my 40 years in the desert.
And all around is the desert; a corner of the mournful kingdom of sand.
It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out; it's the grain of sand in your shoe.
I'd had no particular interest in the Southwest at all as a young girl, and I was completely surprised that the desert stole my heart to the extent it did.
This is the sense of the desert hills, that there is room enough and time enough.
