“On the corner of 57th and 7th Avenue sits the most famous concert hall in the world. No less a figure than when Tchaikovsky led the first performances in 1891. Virtually every major artist has performed there. There is simply no place like it. The first time I stepped foot in Carnegie Hall was in 1964.” WorldFirstsArtistFeetFiguresMajorsFirst TimePerformancesCornersHallsConcertsAvenuesCarnegieCarnegie HallTchaikovsky Book:Leading Tones: Reflections on Music, Musicians, and the Music Industry Source: Leading Tones: Reflections on Music, Musicians, and the Music Industry
“I didn't hit one three-pointer in college, and a couple of those were right on the college three line. I didn't feel comfortable much outside of 12 to 15 feet. Now, I really feel comfortable from the wing and the corner area out to 18, 19 feet. I'm going to keep working and continue to improve it.” FeelsThreeLinesFeetCollegeCoupleComfortComfortableAreasWingsCornersPointers Author:David Lee
“I am sure that hon. members will realize that I am not drawing on my imagination when I state that last fall there were children going to school in Saskatchewan with only sacking wrapped around their feet. We have gone into homes and found mothers and children lying on piles of bedding in the corner; they did not have the proper bedding equipment or the proper clothing to meet the rigours of a very cold winter.” ChildrenStatesHomeSchoolLastsLyingMotherFallFoundRealizingImaginationGoneFeetColdMembersWinterCornersDrawingClothingsEquipmentMy ImaginationMother And ChildWinter ColdRigourBeddingSackingSaskatchewan Author:Tommy Douglas
“The house begins to be a home. The unfamiliar places are beginning to fold the familiar objects into their keeping and to cozy them down.

“At this very moment,... the most frightful horrors are taking place in every corner of the world. People are being crushed, slashed, disembowelled, mangled; their dead bodies rot and their eyes decay with the rest. Screams of pain and fear go pulsing through the air at the rate of eleven hundred feet per second. After travelling for three seconds they are perfectly inaudible. These are distressing facts; but do we enjoy life any the less because of them? Most certainly we do not.” PeopleWorldMomentsFactsBodyEyePainSufferingThreeEnjoyAirFeetHorrorHundredRateCornersSecondsSympathyScreamApathyDecayEnjoy LifeCrushedElevenDistressingCorners Of The World Author:Aldous Huxley

“Amma Theodora said: A certain monk, afflicted by many sorrows, said to himself, "Leave this place." With these words he began to put his sandals on his feet, and suddenly he saw the devil in the form of a man sitting in the corner of his cell. The devil was also putting on his sandals. He said to the monk, "Are you leaving here because of me? Well then, wherever you go, I will be there before you."” MenInspirationalWellsSaidChristianFormCertainReligiousSawsFeetSorrowDevilSittingLeavingCornersCellsOrthodoxMonkSandalsAmma Author:Ignatius Bryanchaninov
“Poems offer us counter-knowledges. They let us see what is invisible to ordinary looking, and to find in overlooked corners the opulence of our actual lives. Similarly, we usually spend our waking hours trying to be sure of things - of our decisions, our ideas, our choices. We so want to be right. But we walk by right foot and left foot.” WantTryingIdeasChoicesLeftHoursDecisionWalksFeetOffersOrdinaryCornersInvisibleWakingOverlookedOur ChoicesOpulenceActual Life Author:Jane Hirshfield

“Elvis Presley's talent brightened millions of lives. He widened the horizons of my world certainly. The first record I ever owned was a 78 rpm of "Hound Dog" backed by "Don't Be Cruel" and when I listened to those tunes I felt about ten feet tall and I grinned so hard that I felt like the corners of my mouth would meet in the back and the tip of my head would simply topple off. All I know about Rock and Roll is that it makes people feel good. Elvis Presley more than made me feel good, he enriched my life and made it better.” PeopleKnowsWorldFeelsFirstsMadeHardFeltMillionsRecordsFeetRocksTalentDogTenMouthsCornersFeel GoodMade ItTunesTallHorizonRock And RollHoundsHound Dogs Author:Stephen King
