Amber Quotations
Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.
Kurt Vonnegut
I didn't expect to be doing a whole bunch of Amber Browns. And because it was just one book, and the father had moved away, I didn't realize I was going to have to deal more with shared custody, divorce and all those issues.
Paula Danziger
I don't think Amber taped Scott or testified for money, but the opportunity certainly presented itself. It makes me a bit uncomfortable, but at least she never sold the story before trial to the tabloids.
Catherine Crier
The evening sings in a voice of amber, the dawn is surely coming.
Al Stewart
I quite agree with you. The sun is not kind. God should use a rose amber spot.
Dewitt Bodeen
