“I started playing guitar and writing songs when I was 15. I think what mainly sparked my interest was just the fact that I grew up listening to Cheryl King, Joni Mitchell, and James Taylor, and was just always inspired by that sort of organic art, and organic songs and just very natural songwriting that came out of some of those artists.” ThinkingWritingArtFactsArtistSongInterestNaturalListeningGrewKingsGrew UpInspiredGuitarSongwritingWriting SongsPlaying Guitar Author:Kate Voegele

“Kings ought never to be seen upon the stage. In the abstract, they are very disagreeable characters: it is only while living that they are 'the best of kings'. It is their power, their splendour, it is the apprehension of the personal consequences of their favour or their hatred that dazzles the imagination and suspends the judgement of their favourites or their vassals; but death cancels the bond of allegiance and of interest; and seen AS THEY WERE, their power and their pretensions look monstrous and ridiculous.” LooksCharacterInterestImaginationStageOughtKingsConsequenceHatredRidiculousJudgementAbstractFavourAllegianceMonstrousApprehensionPretensionDisagreeableDazzleSplendour Book:Characters of Shakespeare's Plays Source: Characters of Shakespeare's Plays
“Near the top of the market, investors are extraordinarily optimistic because they've seen mostly higher prices for a year or two. The sell-offs witnessed during that span were usually brief. Even when they were severe, the market bounced back quickly and always rose to loftier levels. At the top, optimism is king, speculation is running wild, stocks carry high price/earnings ratios, and liquidity has evaporated. A small rise in interest rates can easily be the catalyst for triggering a bear market at that point.” YearsTwoRunningInterestLevelsBearsKingsHigherOptimismSellsRoseRateOptimisticInvestorsEarningSevereSpeculationCatalystRatiosInterest RateHigh PricesLiquidityRunning Wild Author:Martin Zweig
