“It is strange that of all the pieces of the Bible which my mother taught me, that which cost me the most to learn, and which was to my childish mind the most repulsive - Psalm 119 - has now become of all the most precious to me in its overflowing and glorious passion of love for the Law of God.” MindLawMotherPassionPiecesTaughtStrangeCostGloriousPsalmsLove Passion Author:John Ruskin
“Will customers keep supporting the enormous overhead required to sustain ineffectual, unproductive stock picking across an array of thousands of individual funds devoted to every investing 'style' and economic sector or regional subgroup that some marketing idiot can dream up?

You know, you have to ask the people behind the counter.

“If you want to be a writer, all you need is a piece of paper and a pencil, and I had a manual typewriter. It doesn't cost money to write. It costs money to make art. So I would just write. I would hand out stories in the classes in high school. And the teacher would say, "Whatever you do, don't become a writer."” IfsWantNeedsWritingArtStoriesHandsSchoolClassTeacherPiecesCostPaperHigh SchoolPencilsTypewritersManuals Author:Tama Janowitz
