“As a kid, I was a little self-conscious because I was so much taller than everyone. A bad habit of mine used to be slouching. Eventually, I realized my height was something I couldn't control, so I might as well accept it. I've certainly turned it into a positive, because without my height I probably wouldn't be as good of a tennis player. It's a gift, and I've made something of it.” WellsLittlesMadeSelfMightKidsUsedAcceptingPlayerMinesHabitConsciousI RealizedUsed To BeHeightTennisSelf ConsciousBad HabitsTennis Player Author:John Isner

I was hoping it'd end up being as universal as possible, even though it comes from the most personal place.” PeopleWayEndsFeelingsSongStuffProcessMemoriesMy OwnSpaceEmotionMinesConsciousUniversalLeavingLoadFeelings And EmotionsPersonal Experiences Author:Conor O'Brien
“I am sure it is everyone’s experience, as it has been mine, that any discovery we make about ourselves or the meaning of life is never, like a scientific discovery, a coming upon something entirely new and unsuspected; it is rather, the coming to conscious recognition of something, which we really knew all the time but, because we were unwilling to formulate it correctly, we did not hitherto know we knew.” KnowsHas BeensLife IsMinesConsciousDiscoveryRecognitionMeaning Of LifeLife ExperienceUnwillingScientific Discovery Author:W.

“Well I ain't Dr. Phil, but I'm smart," she said. "And your shoes are cuter than his," I said, trying to sound at least semi-normal.

“But my last conscious thought was an image of Prince Char when he'd caught the bridle of Sir Stephan's horse. His face had been close to mine. Two curls had spilled onto his forehead.
