In the very act of writing I felt pleased with what I did. There was the pleasure of having words come to me, and the pleasure of ordering them, re-ordering them, weighing one against another. Pleasure also in the imagination of the story, the feelin...
For the last several days I've had the sudden and general urge to buy a new book. I've stopped off at a few bookstores around the city, and while I've looked at hundreds and hundreds of books in that time, I have not found the one book that will sati...
Driving to see my childhood home was very significant for me. It taught me the importance of home, especially to children. Your home is more than just a shelter. It is more than just a place to showcase your design skills. It is more than just a mean...
We are all born and someday we’ll all die. Most likely to some degree alone.What if our aloneness isn’t a tragedy? What if our aloneness is what allows us to speak the truth without being afraid? What if our aloneness is what allows us to adventu...
Unmoor the boat, we could go…downriver... History is a collection of found objects washed up through time. Goods, ideas, personalities surface towards us and then sink away and some we hook out and others we ignore. And as the pattern changes so do...
Ben: You know what's really great about baseball? Lindsey Meeks: Hmm? Ben: You can't fake it. You know, anything else in life you don't have to be great in - business, music, art - I mean you can get lucky. Lindsey Meeks: Really? Ben: Yeah, you can f...
Thorin Oakenshield: [on his father, Thrain] You're like the others. You think he's dead. Gandalf: I was not at the Battle of Moria... Thorin Oakenshield: No. I was. [flashback to the Battle of Moria; Thorin sees Azog decapitate King Thror and throw h...
Morpheus: I can see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he's expecting to wake up. Ironically, this is not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, Neo? Neo: No. Morpheus: Why not? Neo: 'Cause I don't like ...
Captain Darrow: Sergeant Crisp, secure the General. I'm relieving you of command, sir. [pause] Captain Darrow: SERGEANT. [Sergeant Crisp pulls out his pistol and reaches for General Hummel's gun holster] Sergeant Crisp: I'll have that sidearm, sir. [...
My life. The life I'm living that's where all my inspiration comes from. Real life experiences.
Life is a dream; life is a journey. Life is a miracle, a search for destiny.
Life is an experiment and experience. Life is miraculous and a miracle. Life is a giant canvas and an elusive art. Life is playing field for spirit and spiritual. Life is for love and love is for life.

Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it.
Love life comes last in my life. I put real life first.
May I nurture the serenity to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can change and wisdom to know the difference
When we define the Photograph as a motionless image, this does not mean only that the figures it represents do not move; it means that they do not (i)emerge(i), do not (i)leave(i): they are anesthetized and fastened down, like butterflies.
In a world now so obsessed with speed, we teachers must step back and learn to wait.
