Who am I to blow against the wind?

― Paul Simon

I listen to the wind
To the wind of my soul
 

― Cat Stevens, "The Wind"

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

Love is wind for the soul.

― D. Antoinette Foy

A cool breeze stirred my hair at that moment, as the night wind began to come down from the hills, but it felt like a breath from another world.

― Francis Marion Crawford, For the Blood is the Life and Other Stories

Katsa watched the long grass moving around them. The wind pushed it, attacked it, struck it in one place and then another. It rose and fell and rose again. It flowed, like water.

― Kristin Cashore, Graceling

What is this world? A mere curl of smoke for the wind to scatter.

― Abraham Cahan

The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind.

― Bob Dylan, Blowin’ in the Wind

Anyone who thinks fallen leaves are dead has never watched them dancing on a windy day.

― Shira Tamir

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
 

― Elton John, Candle in the Wind
