“I think that there's a strong crossover in that Janis, studying the visual arts, was learning how to break it down into details and see how to get the expression that we wanted. And her visual art is emotionally expressive as her singing was. And, I think, when she switched over to singing, she already knew that it was something serious that you broke into pieces so she developed the ability to break it down and learn little riffs that she could throw in here and there.” ThinkingLittlesArtWantedStrongAbilityBreakStudyPiecesSeriousExpressionSingingArt IsDown AndDetailsBrokeVisualsHere And ThereExpressiveVisual ArtCrossover Author:Laura Joplin

“In truth, politeness is artificial good humor, it covers the natural want of it, and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue. It is the practice of sacrificing to those whom we meet in society, all the little inconveniences and preferences which will gratify them, and deprive us of nothing worth a moment's consideration; it is the giving a pleasing and flattering turn to our expressions, which will conciliate others, and make them pleased with us as well as themselves. How cheap a price for the good will of another!” WantGivingWellsLittlesRealEndsMomentsTurnsNaturalPracticeVirtueSacrificeExpressionConsiderationSubstitutesArtificialPreferenceGood WillPolitenessFlatteringHabitualInconvenienceRenderingGood Humor Author:Thomas Jefferson
“There is, moreover, very little sense in preventing young people from giving expression to their ideas on the pretext that they have less experience than have older persons. There are many who may live a thousand years without encountering experience of any value. It could only be in a society of persons equally gifted that such an idea could have any meaning.” PeopleGivingYearsMayLittlesPersonsIdeasYoungValuesExpressionThousandThousand YearsGiftedPreventingPretext Book:Sex & Character Source: Sex & Character
