“I am an avid follower of the news, and sometimes you just can't take any more war, any more disasters, and you want to remind yourself there's beauty in the world. I wanted to show a more poetic side to my work. It was all about... a feeling of sadness, but in a cinematic kind of way. I find beauty in melancholy.” WorldWayWantKindWarSometimesShowsFeelingsWantedSidesSadnessNewsDisasterWorking ItPoeticMelancholyFollowersCinematicAvid Author:Alexander McQueen
“As an introvert, you can be your own best friend or your worst enemy. The good news is we generally like our own company, a quality that extroverts often envy. We find comfort in solitude and know how to soothe ourselves. Even our willingness to look at ourselves critically is often helpful.But, we can go too far. We can hoard responsibility and overlook the role others play. We can kick ourselves when we're down. How many times have you felt lousy about something, only to get mad at yourself for feeling lousy?” KnowsLooksPlayFeelingsFeltQualityResponsibilityCompanyEnemyRolesKnow HowWorstComfortSolitudeNewsMadEnvyKicksHelpfulWillingnessIntrovertGood NewsWorst EnemyExtroverts Author:Laurie Helgoe
“Guileless and without vanity, we were still in love with ourselves then. We felt comfortable in our skins, enjoyed the news that our senses released to us, admired our dirt, cultivated our scars, and could not comprehend this unworthiness. Jealousy we understood and thought natural--a desire to have what somebody else had; but envy was a strange, new feeling for us.” StillsFeelingsDesireFeltNaturalStrangeComfortableNewsUnderstoodSkinsEnvySensesVanityEnjoyedScarDirtIntriguingStill In LoveNew Feelings Author:Jim Morrison
“I like the fact that it [social media] is unfiltered. In other words it's not Geraldo of Fox News or Geraldo of WABC Radio, it's Geraldo. And you know it's raw, unedited, what I'm thinking, what I'm feeling, or, you know, some mistakes I'm making in real time. And I see that as a way to go out kicking and screaming. People will be hearing from me 'til the bitter end now.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWayRealEndsFactsFeelingsSocialMistakeMediaNewsRadioSocial MediaHearingBitterFoxesKickingFox News Author:Geraldo Rivera
“As a direct line to human feeling, empathic experience, genuine language and detail, poetry is everything that headline news is not. It takes us inside situations, helps us imagine life from more than one perspective, honors imagery and metaphor - those great tools of thought - and deepens our confidence in a meaningful world.” WorldHumansHelpingFeelingsPoetryLanguageLinesSituationImaginePerspectiveHonorNewsToolsDirectMetaphorDetailsMeaningfulGenuinePoetry IsImageryHeadlines Author:Naomi Shihab Nye
