“Teenagers all think their life is a movie. If you break up with someone or you have a fight, you walk around with movie scores playing in your head. You sort of see yourself suffering as you're suffering. There's a lot of melodrama attached to the real events of your life.” IfsThinkingRealLife IsSufferingFightingWalksBreakEventsTeenagerScoreMelodrama Author:Kenneth Lonergan
“It was electric. When Death Valley is rocking, it seems as if it might actually take flight. On Saturday, I went back to Baton Rouge to see Alabama barely beat LSU, and was, once again, reminded that Tiger Stadium is the best place in the world to watch a sporting event. ... I'm not sure what it was like to walk into the Coliseum, but I bet it was something like this.” IfsWorldSeemsMightWalksWatchesEventsBeatsFlightNot SureValleysElectricSaturdayTigersStadiumsPlaces In The WorldAlabamaBest PlaceRougeLsuSporting EventsBatonColiseumBaton RougeTiger StadiumRocking It Author:Wright Thompson
“I live to the rhythm of my country and I cannot remain on the sidelines. I want to be here. I want to be part of it. I want to be a witness. I want to walk arm in arm with it. I want to hear it more and more, to cradle it, to carry it like a medal on my chest. Activism is a constant element in my life, even though afterwards I anguish over not having written 'my own things.' Testimonial literature provides evidence of events that people would like to hide, denounces and therefore is political and part of a country in which everything remains to be done and documented.” PeopleWantCountryDonePoliticalLiteratureMy OwnWalksWrittenEventsArmsElementsEvidenceRemainsConstantActivismRhythmWitnessChestsAnguishMedalCradleSidelinesTestimonial Author:Elena Poniatowska
“A family's responses to crisis or to a new situation mirror those of a child. That is to say, the way a small child deals with a new challenge (for instance, learning to walk) has certain predictable stages: regression, anxiety, mastery, new energy, growth, and feedback for future achievement. These stages can also be seen in adults coping with new life events, whether positive or negative.” WayChildrenCertainEnergyGrowthChallengesWalksDealsSituationStageEventsAchievementAnxietyAdultsNegativeMirrorsCrisisResponseInstanceMasteryNew LifeFeedbackPredictableCopingSmall ChildNew ChallengesRegressionNew SituationsNew Energy Author:T.

“I've done a number of studies with speed dating and Match.com and what's interesting is that you know we still walk into a speed dating event, you know, thinking about what it is we're looking for in a mate and so you ask people, like women will say "I'm looking for somebody who is really kind and sincere and smart and funny."” PeopleThinkingKnowsKindStillsDoneAsksWalksInterestingNumbersStudyEventsSmartDatingSpeedSincereMatesSmart And Funny Author:Sheena Iyengar
