“I think if you ask people what their concept of heaven is, they would say, if they are honest, that it is a big department store, with new things every week - all the money to buy them, and maybe a little more than the neighbours.” PeopleIfsThinkingLittlesBigsReligionAsksHeavenWeekHonestConceptsStoresDepartmentNew ThingsNeighbourDepartment Stores Author:Erich Fromm

“In the Middle Ages, the troubadour poets invented the concept of courtly love--a fantasy love, a noble passion, which was also extra-marital and thus inevitably thwarted, illicit, adulterous. One of the medieval terms for it was amour honestus (honest love). I've always wondered why this passionate ideal--masochistic, spiritual-travelled with such wildfire throughout Europe. My poem, a ghazal, takes up the subject.” AgeSpiritualPassionTermFantasyMiddleSubjectsHonestPoetConceptsEuropeIdealsPassionateNobleExtrasMiddle AgesMedievalAmourWildfiresMasochisticTroubadoursFantasy LoveHonest Love Author:Edward Hirsch
“In the realm of science, all attempts to find any evidence of supernatural beings, of metaphysical concepts, as God, immortality, infinity, etc have thus far failed, and if we are honest, we must confess that in science there exists no God, no immortality, no soul or mind, as distinct from the body.” IfsMindSoulBodyHonestConceptsEvidenceImmortalityRealmsEtcInfinityMetaphysicalSupernatural Beings Author:Charles Proteus Steinmetz
“I don't change the language for children books. I don't make the language simpler. I use words that they might have to look up in the dictionary. The books are shorter, but there's just not that much difference other than that to be honest. And the funny thing is, I have adult writer friends [to whom I would say], "Would you think of writing a children's book?" and they go, "No, God, I wouldn't know how." They're quite intimidated by the concept of it. And when I say to children's books writers, would they write an adult book, they say no because they think they're too good for it.” ThinkingKnowsWritingLooksChildrenBookUseMightLanguageDifferencesKnow HowHonestConceptsAdultsBeing HonestLook UpDictionaryFunny ThingsIntimidatedDon't ChangeChildren's BooksChildren BookChildrens Book Author:John Boyne
“When I wanted to change the concept of what I was doing, I needed to be more public because it involved more people to collaborate. And I'm doing television now.

“Well we never set out to write a concept album. I've always used song writing as a therapeutic release so in that process, I just do my best to be honest with myself and look inside myself and whatever comes out usually just reflects or depicts what I'm going through in my life at that time.” WritingWellsLooksUsedSongProcessHonestConceptsAlbumsReleaseBeing HonestTherapeutic Author:Chuck Ragan
