“Being a journalist, I never feel bad talking to journalism students because it’s a grand, grand caper. You get to leave, go talk to strangers, ask them anything, come back, type up their stories, edit the tape. That’s not gonna retire your loans as quickly as it should, and it’s not going to turn you into a person who’s worried about what kind of car they should buy, but that’s kind of as it should be. I mean, it beats working.” FeelsShouldKindMeanPersonsStoriesTurnsAsksTalkingCarStudentsTypeBeatsStrangerJournalismWorriedJournalistRetiringTapeLoanEditsCapers Author:David
“It means rock'n'roll in the sack. It means sex: the lyrics, the beat of it, the thunderous feeling through your body.

“Art has to be a kind of confession. I don't mean a true confession in the sense of that dreary magazine. The effort it seems to me, is: if you can examine and face your life, you can discover the terms with which you are connected to other lives, and they can discover them, too - the terms with which they are connected to other people.” PeopleIfsKindMeanArtSeemsFacesTermEffortConnectedMagazinesConfessionDreary Author:James A.

“The acceptance of ambiguity implies more than the commonplace understanding that some good things and some bad things happen to us. It means that we know that good and evil are inextricably intermixed in human affairs; that they contain, and sometimes embrace, their opposites; that success may involve failure of a different kind, and failure may be a kind of triumph.” KnowsHumansKindMayMeanDifferentSometimesHappensEvilUnderstandingAcceptanceFailureOppositesEmbraceGood ThingsAffairThings HappenTriumphGood And EvilBad ThingsDifferent KindsAmbiguityCommonplaceBad Things Happen Book:Clearing the ground Source: Clearing the ground
“How few of us appreciate the fact that a very great deal of physical suffering in after life comes from bad mental training in childhood! I do not mean suffering of an imaginary kind; I mean disease which may entirely ruin a life which might have been of use to the world, and which surely would have been happier but for the lost health. Many a chronic invalid might have preserved his health had he been taught to use his brain properly when a child.” WorldKindMayMeanChildrenHas BeensFactsUseMightSufferingLostDealsBrainChildhoodTaughtDiseaseTrainingAppreciateRuinsImaginaryMight Have Been Author:Lyman Abbott
“Art arises in those strange complexities of action that are called human beings. It is a kind of human behavior. As such it is not magic, except as human beings are magical. Nor is it concerned in absolutes, eternities, "forms," beyond those that may reside in the context of the human being and be subject to his vicissitudes. Art is not an inner state of consciousness, whatever that may mean. Neither is it essentially a supreme form of communication. Art is human behavior, and its values are contained in human behavior.” HumansKindMayMeanArtStatesActionFormValuesHuman BeingsConsciousnessMagicSubjectsStrangeCommunicationBehaviorArt IsConcernedEternityAbsolutesSupremeAriseComplexityHuman BehaviorStates Of ConsciousnessVicissitudes Author:Baker Brownell
“In the helter-skelter of this book, I didn't develop my views as theory. In fact, I even believe that efforts of that kind are tainted with ponderousness. Nietzsche wrote "with his blood," and criticizing, or, better, experiencing him means pouring out one's lifeblood. It was only with my life that I wrote the Nietzsche book that I had planned.” BelieveKindMeanBookFactsViewsEffortBloodTheoryCriticizePouringTainted Author:Georges Bataille
“We are Wikipedians. This means that we should be: kind, thoughtful, passionate about getting it right, open, tolerant of different viewpoints, open to criticism, bold about changing our policies and also cautious about changing our policies.
