“When a putter is waiting his turn to hole out a putt of one or two feet in length, on which the match hangs at the last hole, it is of vital importance that he think of nothing. At this supreme moment he ought to fill his mind with vacancy. He must not even allow himself the consolation of religion.” ThinkingMindTwoMomentsLastsTurnsWaitingFeetOughtImportanceGolfSupremeHolesLengthConsolationVacancy Author:Charles Walter Simpson
“The plan is that there would be three seasons [in Taboo], and, as with Peaky Blinders, I have had a destination in mind from the beginning, because I think it helps as a writer. The destination in mind is that James Keziah Delaney sets foot on Nootka Sound.

“I don't mind at all being approached when I'm 10 or more feet away from the car. If I'm anywhere away from the car, I'm fine. That's completely expected. But when I'm next to the car or within 10 feet of it, I'm thinking about that or working in that direction. And that's just something I'd rather be able to work on than be interrupted, really, by anybody.” IfsThinkingMindAbleNextFeetCarFineExpectedInterrupted Author:Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
“The mind and the body are inextricably entwined, and rarely are their inseparability clearer than when we're under some kind of mental pressure.

“My first car, I got it in an auction at my temple. It was an '86 Volvo that I got for 500 bucks, and then wound up throwing $10,000 into the stereo system and put TVs in the foot rests. It was the most ridiculous Volvo you'd ever seen, but I had never had money before and I was out of my mind.” MindFirstsFeetCarTvsWoundsRidiculousTemplesThrowingBucksOf My MindAuctionsVolvo Author:Shia LaBeouf
“We are Jesus Christ's; we belong to him. But even more, we are increasingly him. He moves in and commandeers our hands and feet, requisitions our minds and tongues. We sense his rearranging: debris into the divine, pig's ear into silk purse. He repurposes bad decisions and squalid choices. Little by little, a new image emerges.” MindLittlesHandsMovingChoicesJesusChristDecisionFeetDivineJesus ChristEarsTonguePigsPursesSilkBad DecisionDebrisHands And FeetRearranging Book:Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine Source: Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine
