“One must keep one's character. Earn a character first if you can, and if you can't, then assume one. From the code of morals I have been following and revising and revising for 72 years I remember one detail. All my life I have been honest - comparatively honest. I could never use money I had not made honestly - I could only lend it.” IfsYearsFirstsHas BeensMadeCharacterUseRememberMoralAtheismHonestAssumingDetailsFollowingPositive AtheismHonestlyCodeRevising Author:Mark Twain
“One thing that I'm really interested in is the kind of esoteric detail that surrounds these great figures. And Wikipedia is full of that kind of stuff, whether it's true or untrue. It staggers me: why, in the short space assigned to a person or an event, that kind of random information is there. To be honest, that's wonderful fuel for songwriting.” KindPersonsStuffSpaceWonderfulOne ThingHonestEventsFiguresInformationDetailsBeing HonestFuelSongwritingSurroundUntrueEsotericWikipedia Author:Nick Cave
“There is a great deal we never think of calling religion that is still fruit unto God, and garnered by Him in the harvest. The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, patience, goodness. I affirm that if these fruits are found in any form, whether you show your patience as a woman nursing a fretful child, or as a man attending to the vexing detail of a business, or as a physician following the dark mazes of sickness, or as a mechanic fitting the joints and valves of a locomotive; being honest true besides, you bring forth truth unto God.” IfsThinkingMenChildrenLongStillsShowsFormJoySpiritReligionSufferingFoundDarkDealsHonestCallingGoodnessFruitDetailsFollowingBeing HonestSicknessPhysiciansHarvestMechanicGentlenessJointsNursingFittingAttendingMazesLong SufferingValveLocomotivesFruits Of The Spirit Author:Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
“Don't confuse simple, reasonable honesty with radical silliness. There is no reason to try to articulate blurry feelings or over-explain every detail. The point is to be honest instead of internalizing, not to try to extract juicy confessionals out of everyday life.” TryingReasonFeelingsSimpleHonestHonestyEverydayDetailsRadicalBeing HonestReasonableNo ReasonEveryday LifeJuicySillinessBlurryInternalizing Author:Ann Burton
“I don't need to edit names out of songs and I don't need to edit details out of my songs because I've always been able to be honest with my music. That's the one place where I'm never ever going to change how I do things.” NeedsAbleSongNamesHonestDetailsBeing HonestEdits Author:Taylor Swift
“We're being asked to continually be "authentic" and "honest" with the world through social media. There's a demand to post our wedding pictures, baby pictures (only minutes after the birth), our relationship status, and our grief and joys on Facebook and Instagram. Similarly, we construct persona through dating apps and networking sites. All of these social media networks exert pressure on us to share the personal details of our lives with unknown masses. So the pressure on the characters in "Openness" isn't merely romantic, but public/social as well.” WorldWellsCharacterJoySocialGriefOur LivesShareMinutesHonestMediaBabyBirthDemandMassDatingPressureDetailsSocial MediaPostsOpennessOur RelationshipSiteConstructsNetworkingInstagramPersonaAppsOur WeddingNetworking SitesBaby PicturesWedding Pictures Author:Alexander Weinstein
