[T]hrough bitter experience I have learned that it is best to promise little and then to reward hard work with generosity.
I've found, in my own writing, that a little hatred, keenly directed, is a useful thing.
We value virtue but do not discuss it. The honest bookkeeper, the faithful wife, the earnest scholar get little of our attention compared to the embezzler, the tramp, the cheat.
History was a series of decisions about what to tell and a series of accidents about what survived after telling. Not truth, but a historian could search for truth, and the search was as worthy as any other human activity.
My voice has expanded. It's unfurled in directions I didn't know it could go. And, in some ways, it isn't even what I thought it was.
No group can be truly suppressed until its members are trained and convinced to suppress one another.
I think the discomfort that some people feel in going to the monkey cages at the zoo is a warning sign.
I have found contentment and joy in being exactly where God wants me to be, and that is what makes me happy.
I think legally we have to do 'fun' with a period. I think we agreed because apparently there was another band called 'fun.' We Google-searched, which now makes sense because we're so impossible to Google-search.
In the beginning, I thought mobile search was not much different from Web search. It's just a smaller screen, a slower speed; it's all the bad things. When I thought about mobile Internet, it's all the disadvantages.
When the mind stops searching, when it stops wanting refuge, when it no longer goes in search of security, when it no longer craves more books and information, when it ignores even the memory of desire, only then will Love arrive within.
Arts degrees are awesome. And they help you find meaning where there is none. And let me assure you, there is none. Don’t go looking for it. Searching for meaning is like searching for a rhyme scheme in a cookbook: you won’t find it and you’ll ...
China's Internet will continue to be policed and controlled, information filtered, sites prohibited, noncompliant search engines excluded, and sensitive search words disallowed. And where China goes, others, also informed by different values, are alr...
I'm not in search of sanctity, sacredness, purity; these things are found after this life, not in this life; but in this life I search to be completely human: to feel, to give, to take, to laugh, to get lost, to be found, to dance, to love and to lus...
The internet was supposed to make this whole business of job searching rational and simple. You could post your resume and companies would search them and they'd find you. It doesn't seem to work that way. There aren't enough jobs for experienced, co...
Feather Presents are those things life brings that can't be held in the hand, or tied with bows, but are presents none-the-less
Maybe I can learn to live in a way that makes it worth writing about, and maybe I can actually become something more than this empty shell.
Sometimes you have to realise that things will never change if you don’t make a change yourself, and sometimes, you need to realise that it only happened so that you could learn something.
I just wish you could see my demons for what they are, and lay here beside me on the floor. No words. Just your presence.
I want my life to be the greatest story. My very existence will be the greatest poem. Watch me burn. Love always, Charlotte
If you can’t see the feelings in a donkey, a ship, or a delicate tool, then it’s just as easy to not see them in your brother or sister when you can profit by treating them badly.
