Expressive language v.4

Here are more great examples of words eloquently or imaginatively written for the enjoyment of readers:

  • “The files holding the data are as thick as unabridged dictionaries.” – Joshua Wolf Shenk in The Atlantic, “What Makes Us Happy?”
  • “I’m at home a lot, begging for quiet from a child who has the same need for exercise as an Arabian horse.” – interview with Quinn Cummings on her blog book tour, on Quiet Elegance
  • “Big waves were front-page news around here this weekend. We went to the beach to see Mother Nature show her teeth, and though I have lived my entire life in Southern California, I’d never seen waves that breathtaking.” – Danny Evans on his blog, Dad Gone Mad.

Have you seen any great examples to add to my collection?
