“The habit some writers indulge in of perpetual quotation is one it behooves lovers of good literature to protest against, for it is an insidious habit which in the end must cloud the stream of thought, or at least check spontaneity. If it be true that le style c'est l homme, what is likely to happen if l homme is for ever eking out his own personality with that of some other individual?” IfsEndsHappensLiteratureIndividualStylePersonalityHabitLoversCloudsChecksBeing TrueStreamsProtestPerpetualQuotationsIndulgeSpontaneityIndulge InInsidiousGood Literature Book:Streaks of life Source: Streaks of life
“I got on the phone with the president of my label and I said, "Obviously, I write songs in a lot of styles and play a lot of different kinds of music. We're getting toward the end of our business collaboration. If you could envision a record that you wanted to hear from me, what kind of record would it be?" It wasn't like asking him to fill an order, it was really just a conversation. For all the things I'd ever asked him, this was one thing I'd never asked, and I don't know why. So I was curious. And the thing that he was most interested in hearing was a solo record.” IfsKnowsWritingKindSaidDifferentEndsPlayWantedSongOrderPresidentRecordsOne ThingStyleConversationAskingPhonesHearingCuriousLabelsCollaborationDifferent KindsSoloDifferent Kinds Of Music Author:Ryan Adams

“When you know too much information and you acquire it too easily, you tend to either use it in disagreeable ways, out of vanity, or you tend to be indiscriminate about it. I mean, in the old days, it was tricky, you had to go to various encyclopedias, you had to go to the library, maybe spend a day there, whatever. But in the end, if you found something, it was really exciting. Now you hit a couple of buttons and you get some information. Which, by the way, is almost always presented in that same goddamn mediocre style that characterizes the Internet for me. It is slightly deadening.” IfsKnowsWayMeanEndsUseFoundToo MuchStyleInformationCoupleInternetExcitingLibraryVariousVanityAcquireButtonsMediocreTrickyOld DaysDisagreeableEncyclopediaToo Much Information Author:Norman Mailer
“While the fashion industry may, at least at the top end, be thriving, the notion of fashion itself is becoming more and more meaningless. Any discipline in fashion has long since evaporated; the idea of a single fashionable skirt length, or heel height, is incomprehensible. The definition of the fashionable has become so skimpy that it refers not to the mode of dress of everyday people--the clothes that have sufficiently caught the popular imagination to be worn in a widespread manner--but only to the styles that momentarily excite members of the fashion caravan.” PeopleMayLongIdeasEndsImaginationFashionStyleIndustryBecomingDisciplineMembersClothesDressesNotionEverydayCaughtDefinitionsHeightLengthMeaninglessHeelsWornFashionableSkirtsBecoming MoreFashion IndustryCaravans Author:Rebecca Mead
