“I don't remember a time when I wasn't acting. I have taken time off to figure out if it's what I really want to do, and it is.

“Once upon a time humans faced each other and pulled thoughts from minds, advanced rapidly, revolutionised industry and evolved explosively. Then one day they stopped, and stared at a box. They grew fat and awkward in public, stopped expressing emotions and couldn't figure out how to reverse it: they reinvented themselves from Emperors back into prawns, because someone turned the TV on.” MindHumansEmotionFiguresTvsGrewIndustryOne DayBoxesFatsAwkwardReverseEmperorOnce Upon A TimeExpressing EmotionsPrawns Author:Craig Stone

“Most of the great works of juvenile literature are subversive in one way or another: they express ideas and emotions not generally approved of or even recognized at the time; they make fun of honored figures and piously held beliefs; and they view social pretenses with clear-eyed directness, remarking - as in Andersen's famous tale - that the emperor has no clothes.” WayIdeasLiteratureBeliefFunSocialViewsEmotionClearFiguresClothesTalesOne WayHonoredGreat WorkEmperorPretenseApprovedSubversiveJuvenileChildren's Literature Author:Alison Lurie

“There's a paradox in rereading. You read the first time for rediscovery: an encounter with the confirming emotions.

“Do you think it interests me that this painting represents two figures? These two figures existed, they exist no more. The sight of them gave me an initial emotion, little by little their real presence grew indistinct they became a fiction for me, then they disappeared, or rather, were turned into problems of all kinds. For me they are no longer two figures but shapes and colours, don't misunderstand me, shapes and colours, though, that sum up the idea of the two figures and preserve the vibration of their existence.” ThinkingKindLittlesTwoIdeasRealProblemInterestEmotionExistenceFictionFiguresPaintingGrewShapesSightAll KindsPreservesColourInitialsVibrations Author:Pablo Picasso
“I was taken in the Spirit to the burning bush on Mount Horeb, Moses' "first ascension," and allowed to witness the encounter he had with the Lord there. Throughout the visitation, I was enabled to know and feel the thoughts and emotions of Moses' inner being. ...
