A living tree is a changing, sleeve shape, a wet, thin, bright green creature that survives in the thin layer between heartwood and bark. It stands waiting for light, which it catches in the close-woven sieves of its leaves.
Alice Oswald
The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car... a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little.
Ben Sweetland
The wise ones fashioned speech with their thought, sifting it as grain is sifted through a sieve.
Buddha
Ever crack an egg into simmering water only to watch the white spread out and form wispy tentacles? It happened to me until I came across this game-changing fix: Break the egg into a sieve set over a bowl. The watery outer edge of the white will drain through, leaving the thicker white and yolk intact.
Claire Saffitz
I don't think taunting chants at players on the other side of the ice is intended to be sexist in the slightest. It's like when you call a goaltender a sieve, they chant that. Is that now inappropriate also?
Gary Bettman
Making a film is like putting out a fire with sieve. There are so many elements, and it gets so complicated.
George Lucas
Boy, you know, it's amazing how your brain can turn into a sieve, and you can literally forget episodes that you have shot.
Gillian Jacobs
Not all single women want to be married. Not all boys like football. Not all homemakers like to cook. Not all messy people are lazy. And not all the obese are gluttons. There are glands and diabetes and a dozen conditions you never heard of that may account for things. Put your sermon through the counter-stereotype sieve.
John Piper
They consider me to have sharp and penetrating vision because I see them through the mesh of a sieve.
Khalil Gibran
His answer trickled through my head like water through a sieve.
Lewis Carroll
When facing the public, politicians constantly filter their ideas through a political sieve. 'How will this affect the environmentalists, labor, management?' Sometimes the sieve gets so clogged by political taboos that no new ideas pass through.
Madeleine M. Kunin
We need to secure our southern border. Clearly, the southern border is now a nexus between immigration and national security. It's a sieve.
Ryan Zinke
Without a functioning hippocampus, names, dates, and other information falls straight through the mind like a sieve.
