“Listen to me: everything you think you know, every relationship you've ever taken for granted, every plan or possibility you've ever hatched, every conceit or endeavor you've ever concocted, can be stripped from you in an instant. Sooner or later, it will happen. So prepare yourself. Be ready not to be ready. Be ready to be brought to your knees and beaten to dust. Because no stable foundation, no act of will, no force of cautious habit will save you from this fact: nothing is indestructible.” ThinkingKnowsFactsHappensForceTakenPlansPossibilityReadyHabitFoundationDustGrantedKneesInstantEndeavorStableSooner Or LaterBeatenCautiousConceitListen To MeTaken For GrantedIndestructibleYou Think You Know Book:The Fundamentals of Caring Source: The Fundamentals of Caring
“If I walk into a place, a party, say, and there's a bookshelf, I immediately gravitate toward it. Unless there's a bar. But even then, it's only a matter of a few rounds before I make my way to the bookshelf. If there are good books on it, I may never leave the spot all night. Anybody I really want to talk to is going to make his or her way to that bookshelf sooner or later, anyway, right? Books are a nexus. They start conversations, and they continue conversations, and they make people better conversationalists. I have not found this to be the case with Iron Chef, or even alcohol.” PeopleIfsWayWantMayBookMatterNightFoundWalksPartyCasesConversationRoundsAlcoholBarsSpotsMy WayIronSooner Or LaterChefAll NightGood BookBookshelvesNexusIron Chef Author:Jonathan Evison
