Janet Fitch
“She would be half a planet away, floating in a turquoise sea, dancing by moonlight to flamenco guitar.”
Janet Fitch, White Oleander

Sanober  Khan
“I wish to stay drenched
forever
in those rain-blue eyes
in those...soul-reaching crystals

not moving a muscle
nor breathing
just
savoring
this turquoise ache
against my heart.”
Sanober Khan, Turquoise Silence

Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
“Absently, she brushed back some of the hair from her face, and she saw as Jaguar's eyes followed how the long strands slid across her throat. Though his dark skin did not show pallor as clearly as Lord Daryl's had, Turquoise could tell Jaguar had not fed yet, and she recognized the hungry look in his black eyes.

Testing, she stood, the movement appearing reluctant. "I"ll leave you to your work if you'd like."

He answered the way she had expected him to. Not raising his gaze from her throat, he said, "Come here." Though the words were an order, the tone left room for argument.

For a moment, Turquoise almost felt guilty. She was intentionally manipulating him. A feeding vampire is an easy target; most of them completely lost sense of their surroundings as they drew blood. Jaguar did not even try to catch her mind as his lips fell to her throat. If she had been armed, it would have been revoltingly easy to kill him.”
Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, Midnight Predator

Deborah Lawrenson
“And you can still see the sea!" She wanted to swim there, immediately- she had a childlike urge of excitement at the sight of water so clear the rocks at the foot of the cliffs looked like clumps of turquoise flowers growing on the seabed.”
Deborah Lawrenson, The Sea Garden

“Assuredly the turquoise doth possess a soul more intelligent than that of man.”
Anselmus De Boodt

Alan             Moore
“His sister, in a big turquoise Angora sweater, leaned upon the wood frame of the open nursery door, anxiously looking out to see if he was really going to show, beaming and waving like a pastel colored TV Muppet when she spotted him.”
Alan Moore, Jerusalem

Petra Hermans
“I closed my eyes and then I opened, them. It was not even at midnight, I had that feeling.”
Petra Hermans, Voor een betere wereld

Willa Cather
“The Queen had a jewel of great value, a turquoise that had fallen from the sun, and had the image of the sun upon it. And when she desired a young man whom she had seen in the army or among the slaves, she sent the Captive to him with the jewel.”
Willa Cather, Youth and the Bright Medusa

Sarah Addison Allen
“The desk in front of Frasier was littered with sketchbooks and colored pencils. Drawing was a medium he'd taken up later in life and all he drew was birds, over and over, usually in the heat of the day when it was too hot to be in the garden. The wall in front of him was covered in sketches of the dellawisps, so many of them the papers overlapped, forming a decoupage of turquoise birds.”
Sarah Addison Allen, Other Birds: A Novel

“She thought of the cake that she was going to make for Solange's confirmation. She and Jeanne d'Arc had agreed on a vanilla cake in the shape of a Christian cross, white on top to convey purity and with a turquoise and white basketweave design piped around the sides to match the confirmation dress, which was white with turquoise ribbons threaded through it. Solange's name would be piped in turquoise across the top.”
Gaile Parkin, Baking Cakes in Kigali

Ben Jonson
“Observe him, as his watch observes his clock, and true as turquoise in the dear lord's ring, looks well or ill with him.”
Ben Jonson, Sejanus

“It is notable that nearly every Russian officer wears a ring in which a turquoise is set by way of a talisman against violent death.”
Sylvester Clark Gould, The Bizarre Notes and Queries in History, Folk-Lore, Mathematics, Mysticism, Art, Science, Etc, Vol. 3: January, 1886

Margot Berwin
“across water so electric-blue it looked as if someone had dumped a vat of Ty-D-Bol into it.
It was a color I didn't realize the earth could make without the help of human beings. I knew the water would be blue, but I had in my mind a tamer, more pastel blue: a light color, through which all the sand and fish underneath would be clearly visible. This water was like super-wavy, lit-up turquoise, and so beautiful I could hardly take my eyes off it. The moment I was spellbound by the color of the water was the moment I knew I had been in New York for too long and my decision to leave was a good one.”
Margot Berwin, Hothouse Flower and the Nine Plants of Desire

Ellen Meloy
“Sulla linea dell'orizzonte, al crepuscolo, l脿 dove la roccia rossa incontra il cielo blu oltremare, proprio nel punto in cui avviene l'unione, corre un nasto turchese adagiato sopra la grande terra scura. Un colore transitorio.”
Ellen Meloy, The Anthropology of Turquoise: Reflections on Desert, Sea, Stone, and Sky

Ellen Meloy
“Il mare turchese costituisce un orizzonte che esalta i contorni e le tinte di ogni altro elemento del paesaggio [...] Il mare ospita altri colori per cui nessuno ha un nome.”
Ellen Meloy, The Anthropology of Turquoise: Reflections on Desert, Sea, Stone, and Sky

“For the turquoise is to all Tibetans a most precious jewel, They love it for its beauty and they believe it has magic power, It is the symbol of power and of wealth, the wealth of this world and the wealth of the soul; and it is the outward sign of sovereignty. Only officials may wear the long single turquoise eatting which is the badge of rank, though all, even the poorest, men as well as women, are never contented or secure until they can wear a fleck of the magic stone, in a nose, or ear, or finger ring. However small it may be, the precious gem will protect them from danger and evil, and will link them to God.”
Louise S. Rankin, Daughter of the Mountains
