“Luckily, I'm setting records without even thinking about it, without having the pressure of having to do as well as the person who came before me. It's more like, "Yeah, I'm doing my thing and what happens, happens," and fortunately those have been some pretty amazing results.” ThinkingWellsPersonsHas BeensHappensResultsRecordsPressureYeahSettingSettings Author:Mariel Zagunis
“I call this my church house trilogy. Souls' Chapel really was music from the Mississippi Delta, which to me is a church within itself. The Delta is the church of American Roots music. The Badlands is a cathedral without a top on it. And the Ryman has been called the Mother Church of Country Music, but to me it's the Mother Church of American Music. If you can think it up, it's been done there. In my mind, this is kind of a spiritual odyssey as much as anything else, and I had the settings of three churches to make it in.” IfsThinkingMindKindHas BeensSoulCountryDoneSpiritualMotherThreeHouseChurchRootsSettingSettingsMississippiCathedralsChapelOdysseyAmerican MusicTrilogiesDeltaMississippi Delta Author:Marty Stuart
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 - you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation.” YearsFirstsDoeHas BeensHappensProcessNumbersEconomicMankindRevolutionDevelopmentPeriodsModelsFirst TimeTasksTransformationClimateDepthClimate ChangeSettingSettingsDefinedYou ChooseCopConferencesEconomic DevelopmentIndustrial Revolution Author:Christiana Figueres

“To hold the same views at forty as we held at twenty is to have been stupefied for a score of years, and take rank, not as a prophet, but as an unteachable brat, well birched and none the wiser. It is as if a ship captain should sail to India from the Port of London; and having brought a chart of the Thames on deck at his first setting out, should obstinately use no other for the whole voyage.” IfsShouldYearsFirstsWellsHas BeensWholeUseViewsIndiaTwentiesLondonSettingShipsSettingsProphetScoreFortySailCaptainsWiserVoyagesPortDeckBratThames Book:The Lantern-Bearers and Other Essays Source: The Lantern-Bearers and Other Essays
