“I think what's cool about about going on a co-headline tour is everyone's bringing a huge show, so it's not like opening band, opening band, then here's the big show. It's like two big shows.” ThinkingTwoShowsBigsHugeBandOpeningHeadlines Author:Jack Antonoff
“By about a week before the big day, you will have received less than half of your invitation response cards. Panic sets in when it occurs to you that everyone invited will actually show up. You couldn't have made it easier for your guests. You have included a card that had boxes for 'will attend' or 'will not attend.' You included a pre-addressed, stamped envelope. How inconvenient could it be for them simply to check it off and drop it in in a mailbox? Very inconvenient. You, evil bride-to-be, are confronting two basic human fears. A terror of correspondence and the dread of decision-making.” HumansMadeTwoShowsBigsEvilDecisionHalfWeekEasierResponseTerrorBoxesChecksCardsMade ItDecision MakingGuestsDreadPanicInvitedInvitationsBridesConfrontingInconvenientEnvelopesCorrespondenceMailboxes Book:A Groom of One's Own: And Other Bridal Accessories Source: A Groom of One's Own: And Other Bridal Accessories

'The steaks at night are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas!' And they are always afloat in grease. Next morning you are served a smaller steak, which serves as a platform for two fried eggs ... all of this afloat in the same grease! 'Chicken, you say? You bet! Comin' up!' Same grease! They are right. Comin' up! For hours afterwards. I couldn't believe the crust of an apple pie!

“The world of money, of numbers and stock markets and interest rates and credit cards, seems on the surface about as far as it could be from the world of spirituality, of seeking meaningful answers to the big questions of life. ... But these two worlds must flow in and out of each other, because it takes both money and spiritual understanding to sustain it. Truly speaking, what determines where our money with its awesome power will go, and what it will do for ourselves and others? If we listen, those answers come from the center of our being, from who we really are.” IfsWorldTwoBigsSeemsSpiritualSpiritualityUnderstandingInterestAnswersMoneyNumbersFlowRateDetermineSeekingCreditSurfaceMeaningfulCardsCredit CardInterest RateTwo WorldsBig Questions Author:Suze Orman
“We know it (meat eating) is indisputably the number one cause of global warming. So what does it mean exactly to be an environmentalist on a daily basis if you are not thinking about the number one cause of global warming or one of the top two or three causes of all other environmental problems?

“Science and religion are two windows that people look through, trying to understand the big universe outside, trying to understand why we are here. The two windows give different views, but they look out at the same universe. Both views are one-sided, neither is complete. Both leave out essential features of the real world.
