“I really try to divorce myself from any thought of possible use of this stuff. That's part of the discipline. My only purpose while I'm working is to try to make interesting photographs, and what to do with them is another act - an alter consideration. Certainly while I'm working, I want them to be as useless as possible.” WantTryingUsePurposeStuffInterestingDisciplinePhotographyPhotographerPhotographDivorceUselessConsideration Author:Garry Winogrand
“All that stuff about flatness - it's this idea that painting is a specialized discipline and that modernist painting increasingly refers to painting and is refining the laws of painting. But who cares about painting? What we care about is that the planet is heating up, species are disappearing, there's war, and there are beautiful girls here in Brooklyn on the avenue and there's food and flowers.” IdeasWarCareBeautifulLawGirlStuffPaintingPlanetsFlowerDisciplineSpeciesDisappearWho CaresAvenuesBrooklynBeautiful GirlRefiningHeatingFlatnessHeating Up Author:Chris Martin
“It's so important to have your own relationship with the Lord. That is the number one thing I would say. Be sure that you are getting to a place where God is your best friend. He wants that relationship with you. He wants you to be in love with Him like that. It takes time. It takes discipline to spend time in His word and spend time listening to stuff that's going to pour life into you and not just thinking about your appearance or things that a lot of music tries to tell you to do. Be careful of that. Be careful of what you're filling your spirit with.” ThinkingWantTryingImportantSpiritStuffNumbersLordOne ThingListeningDisciplineCarefulAppearanceBe CarefulTake TimeEnd TimesFillingSpend TimeYour Best FriendIt Takes TimeThinking About You Author:Kari Jobe
“The danger of these collaborations across disciplines is in having too strict of a division of labor - in my case, of getting stuck doing the music.

“Cooking is one of my favourite things - from going to the market, bringing the stuff home and preparing it, to cleaning the kitchen afterwards. I've lost my figure a few times.

“All people naturally hate. My kid bites people now. I didn't teach my kid to bite anybody. Kids say mean stuff. Only through love do we get this evil out of them.

“I just tried to come up with some honest songs. What I was writing about was real plain stuff that I wasn't sure was going to be interesting to other people. But I guess it was...I've never had any discipline whatsoever. I just wait on a song like I was waiting for lightning to strike. And eventually-usually sometime around 3 in the morning-I'll have a good idea. By the time the sun comes up, hopefully, I'll have a decent song.” PeopleWritingIdeasRealSongStuffWaitingInterestingMorningSunHonestDisciplineCome UpStrikesHopefullyDecentSongwritingGood IdeasLightningSongwritersWriting Songs Author:John Prine
