Eleanor Wished Quote by Suzanne Palmieri
““She remembered reading somewhere that Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. Eleanor wished there were a hundred ways to say her name. She thought, maybe, if her name was howled from all corners of the world, in a million different voices, that she might explode into a cloud of snow. Light and separate, her parts floating down onto the world in a series of beautiful crystalline moments.””

![“The thing with 50 Words of Snow is that it was literally back-to-back from Director's Cut [also released in 2011]. It was more or less that I got to make two albums in one hit. I was already in this space in my mind to be writing and making an album.” quote by Kate Bush](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/df1/kate-bush-1547_albums_the-thing-with-50-words-of-snow-is-that_3049984.jpg)
![“[P]eople think that in order for something to be frightening, it has to be dark, musty, and full of cobwebs and secrets. That's a lie of epic proportion. The scariest, most unexplainable things happen in the bright light of day. And just when you least expect.” quote by Suzanne Palmieri](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2fb/suzanne-palmieri-11031_frightening_p-eople-think-that-in-order-for-somethin_689606.jpg)
