“P. G. Wodehouse... used, when in town, to solve the problem of the long walk to the post-office by the simple expedient of tossing his letters out of his window: his belief that the average human, finding a stamped and addressed envelope on the pavement, would naturally pop it into the nearest pillar-box was never once, in decades, shown to be unfounded.” HumansLongProblemUsedBeliefSimpleWalksOfficeFindingsWindowLettersTownsAverageBoxesPopsSolveDecadesPostsPillarsEnvelopesPavementPost OfficeLong Walks Author:Stephen Fry
“If there is anything worse than the aching tedium of staring out of car windows, it is the irritation of getting tickets, packing, finding trains, lying in bouncing berths, washing without water, digging out passports, and fighting through customs. To live in Carlsbad is seemly and to loaf at San Remo healing to the soul, but to get from Carlsbad to San Remo is of the devil.” IfsSoulLyingFightingWaterHealingCarFindingsDevilWindowTrainStaringCustomsTicketsWashingDiggingPassportsIrritationPackingTediumFighting Through Book:Dodsworth Source: Dodsworth

“In terms of how the music developed, it was my normal process, which I would say is really a hybrid process of sketching on bits of paper, playing the piano, playing synthesisers, using the computer, staring out of the window, finding things I'd forgotten about, happy accidents, failed plans, best intentions, equipment failures. It is a multidimensional process incorporating a lot of planning and intention and a lot of randomness. Ultimately I just follow the material where it wants to go a lot of the time.” WantBitsProcessTermPlansMaterialsNormalPaperFindingsComputerWindowIntentionForgottenAccidentsPlanningStaringPianoEquipmentHybridRandomnessSketchingBest IntentionsIncorporatingHappy AccidentsPiano Playing Author:Max Richter
“Darius didn't have any trouble finding the Street Cats building. It was a cozy-looking square brick building with big front windows crowded with cat stuff. I made a mental note to pick up a little something for Nala from their gift shop. My cat was grumpy enough without her thinking that I'd been cheating on her (translation: I would smell like a zillion other cats) and hadn't even brought her a present.” ThinkingLittlesMadeEnoughBigsStuffTroubleStreetsFrontsBuildingFindingsPicksCatWindowNotesSmellShopsCheatingSquaresBricksTranslationsCrowdedCozyGrumpyDarius Book:Untamed: A House of Night Novel Source: Untamed: A House of Night Novel
“A habit of finding pleasure in thought rather than action is a safeguard against unwisdom and excessive love of power, a means of preserving serenity in misfortune and peace of mind among worries. A life confined to what is personal is likely, sooner or later, to become unbearably painful; it is only by windows into a larger and less fretful cosmos that the more tragic parts of life become endurable.” MindMeanActionPleasureWorryHabitFindingsWindowPainfulCosmosTragicPeace Of MindMisfortunesSerenitySooner Or LaterConfinedParts Of LifeExcessive Love Book:A Fresh Look at Empiricism: 1927-42 Source: A Fresh Look at Empiricism: 1927-42
