“I locate a great deal of the power of Occupy Wall Street in the name itself, 'Occupy Wall Street,' or '#OccupyWallStreet.' It works because the name contains everything you need to know: the tactic and the target. The name is also modular. You can create your own offshoot in your own city.” KnowsNeedsNamesDealsCitiesStreetsWallTargetTacticsOccupy Wall Street Author:Dana Spiotta

“An Irishman's imagination never lets him alone, never convinces him, never satisfies him; but it makes him that he can't face reality nor deal with it nor handle it nor conquer it: he can only sneer at them that do, and be 'agreeable to strangers', like a good-for-nothing woman on the streets.” RealityFacesImaginationDealsStreetsStrangerHandleConquerConvinceSneerIrishmen Author:George Bernard Shaw
“Success to me is self-determined, the life I live today, to come from a kid strung out on angel dust, homeless, at some points sleeping in the street. No money, not knowing where the next meal was coming from. No sex, no relationships, people that didn't love me, didn't care about me, to where I am today... that's successful.

“In Europe, I'm recognized on the street sometimes. And that's cool, because I don't have to live there and deal with it every day. Unless you're Stephen King - a great writer, by the way, and anyone who says different knows nothing about the craft - you're more likely to be recognized in America if you play in a soap opera than if you're a novelist.” IfsKnowsWayDifferentSometimesPlayAmericaDealsStreetsKingsEuropeCraftsNovelistsOperaSoapGreat WritersSoap Operas Author:George Pelecanos
“The only way to deal with loss - as a horribly unwelcome guest that you know will show up eventually. And so you deny it and reject it and ignore it and laugh in its face. You toss it out into the street and push it away and fight it off, and only it has landed square in your lap, only then do you deal with it.” KnowsWayShowsMotivationalFacesSuccessMotivationFightingLossDealsLaughingStreetsInspireDenyRejectsSquaresGuestsLapTossUnwelcome Author:Michael Johnson
“If you work in the city long enough, it begins to deal with you on a personal level. Streets reveal their moods. Sometimes the signal light loves you. Sometimes they fight you. When you're hunting for a new building, you hope the city is on your side. You have to use a little bit of thinking--you might call it the process of elimination--and you need a little bit of instinct, but not too much of either. If you think too hard, you overshoot your target and end up at the Pier or the Tenderloin. If you relax and let the city help, the destination does all the work for you.” IfsThinkingNeedsLittlesLongDoeEndsSometimesHardEnoughHelpingUseLightMightFightingBitsProcessSidesLevelsDealsCitiesToo MuchStreetsLove YouBuildingLittle BitInstinctMoodRelaxTargetDestinationHuntingSignalsYour SideEliminationPiers Author:Scott Adams
