“What surprises me is-even though discrimination against women and racial discrimination still exist, they have improved a lot, especially among artists. And just when I felt I could finally take a break, I encounter the age discrimination. I turned 72 and started noticing a drastic difference in people's attitudes. I started with racism and sexism in the beginning and fought them so hard and was finally ready to relax. Then, here comes ageism, and I feel like, "Give me a break!"” PeopleGivingFeelsStillsHardAgeArtistFeltDifferencesAttitudeBreakReadyRacismGive MeSurpriseDiscriminationEncountersRelaxSexismNoticingSurprise MeRacial DiscriminationDrasticAgeism Author:Yoko Ono
“As far juicing goes, I've done it for a couple of years; it's very good to cleanse the body. Doing the smoothies and getting the fruits and veggies in there just gives you more energy. You'll feel quite different after a couple weeks of doing it. Be consistent with it and you'll see it really makes a difference.” GivingFeelsYearsDifferentDoneBodyEnergyDifferencesWeekCoupleFruitVery GoodMaking A DifferenceConsistentSmoothiesFruits And Veggies Author:Dwight Howard
“The myth stems from the belief that writing is some mystical process. That it's magical. That it abides by its own set of rules different from all other forms of work, art, or play.But that's bullshit. Plumbers don't get plumber's block. Teachers don't get teacher's block. Soccer players don't get soccer block. What makes writing different? Nothing. The only difference is that writers feel they have a free pass to give up when writing is hard.” GivingFeelsWritingArtDifferentHardPlayFormBeliefProcessDifferencesTeacherPlayerGiving UpMythBlockSoccerBullshitStemMysticalPlumberSoccer Player Author:Patrick Rothfuss
“With all your power, ask the Lord for humility and brotherly love, because God freely gives His grace for love towards one's brother.

“Certainly with a book, people are going to be able to read it and give themselves permission to have that delicious feeling of being terrified because they're in a safe place while they're reading. That's what you can rely on as a writer, that people can let themselves be really frightened because they're really all right. Being frightened when you're not sure you're all right is a big difference.” PeopleGivingBookFeelingsBigsAbleReadingDifferencesSafeNot SureRelyFrightenedPermissionTerrifiedDeliciousSafe Places Author:Susan Hill

“So is there a difference between Democrats and Republicans? Sure. The Democrats say one thing ("Save the planet!") and then do another--quietly holding hands behind the scenes with the bastards who make this world a dirtier, meaner place. The Republicans just come right out and give the bastards a corner office in the West Wing. That's the difference.” WorldGivingHandsDifferencesBehindsOne ThingThis WorldPlanetsRepublicanSceneOfficeWingsWestDemocratCornersBehind The ScenesHolding HandsSave The Planet Author:Michael Moore
“When I visit schools and talk to students about writing, I give them one word of advice and I give it to them quickly and loudly-FINISH! Starting something is easier than finishing it. You must have discipline to go from a few sentences, to a few paragraphs, to a piece of writing that has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Finishing something bridges the difference between someone who has talent and one who does not. My best advice? Apply the seat of your pants to the seat of your chair-and finish. FINISH!” GivingWritingDoeEndsSchoolDifferencesPiecesMiddleAdviceTalentStudentsDisciplineEasierStartingSentencesBridgesSeatsChairsPantsOne WordFinishingParagraphBest AdviceWords Of AdviceFinishing It Author:E.
