“I like night fishing, even though there is a molecule of terror in it. Maybe it is that tiny bit of terror that I relish, that going mano a mano with another predator in the dark. I know it is not entirely civilized, but there is nothing to compare with the sizzle of fear except, perhaps, the rush of being feared. Either condition confirms you are alive.” KnowsNightBitsDarkAliveSeaConditionsRiversFishesTerrorTinyBoatCompareLakesFishingCivilizedMoleculesPredatorRelish Author:Paul G. Quinnett
“I was a coin collector.I didn't know I was nerdy at the time until I felt my 16-D Mercury Dime that was in uncirculated condition might be a panty dropper, and it turned out not to be. Then I stumbled into skateboarding, which kind of was cooler. But I wasn't aware of what was cool. My dad wasn't around so he couldn't shake me and say, 'Drop the coin collecting bit. It's not where you want to go.' So, that and the spelling bee and the chess, I think I had it figured out for myself.” ThinkingKnowsWantKindMightFeltBitsConditionsDadMy DadChessShakesBeesCoinsCollectingCollectorsDimesSpellingMercuryNerdySkateboarding Author:Adam Sandler

There were roles and there were rules.” Would BeMotherBitsWomenDecisionRolesGenerationsConditions Book:Living Out Loud Source: Living Out Loud

“I think working with actors is a little bit how a chef would work with a potato or a piece of meat. You have to kind of have a look at the potato or the piece of meat and see what kind of possibilities are in the ingredient. I know I'm using the wrong metaphor. I think my job is to see what potato is there and from there, just work under their conditions.” ThinkingKnowsLooksKindLittlesJobsActorsBitsPiecesConditionsPossibilityLittle BitMetaphorMeatIngredientsChefPotatoes Author:Lars von Trier
