“If an American is motoring on his own, he (the paragon of morality and chastity) will slow down and stop beside every solitary pretty female pedestrian, bare his teeth in a big smile, and tempt her into his car with a wild roll of the eyes. A lady who fails to appreciate his passion will qualify as an idiot who doesn't realise how lucky she is to have the opportunity of getting to know the owner of this 100-horse-power motor car.” IfsKnowsBigsEyePassionOpportunityFailingCarMoralityLuckyFemaleAppreciateHorseDown AndTeethIdiotOwnersRealisingSolitarySlow DownMotorChastityPedestriansMotor CarsParagon Book:My Discovery of America Source: My Discovery of America

“Awareness of time as flying has some advantages; it precludes boredom, for one thing. It matters little that younger people find older people boring or slow. Older people have a right to resist being rushed, to stand and stare at the fragile world that has become so unspeakably dear to them. For the lucky ones, who will not have to leave while they are still in love with life, there will come a later time when that passion too will fade, but while one is still possessed by that great tenderness, it must be yielded to.” PeopleWorldLittlesStillsMatterPassionOne ThingAwarenessLuckyAdvantageDearBoringFlyingStaringBoredomLove LifeFragileFadesPossessedTendernessOlder PeopleStill In Love Author:Germaine Greer

“Pretend what we may, the whole man within us is at work when we form our philosophical opinions.

“When I was doing those things with the Berlin circus, playing the accordion, going to North Korea - I felt all those things were just me experimenting and letting myself go.

“Somebody came and directed a show at my high school. I approached it with sort of the sensibility - "Oh, I know that music. I'm going to go audition." I ended up being in it and I sang and it was mind-altering - to me, to my parents, who had never heard me sing like that. It put a stop to everything else that I was doing - every sport that I played, every instrument, it was all dropped because nothing felt like that. I feel really lucky that I found my passion at that point. There are people who are adults who don't know what their passion is and go through life doing "a job."” PeopleSchoolPassionSportsParentLuckyHigh SchoolSensibilityMy Passion Author:Anika Noni Rose
“Ten years ago when I started out I was kind of told I was insane for trying to pursue multiple fields at once because in five years everyone who just did one would have five times the resume I would if I was lucky, but I took that gamble because I just my gut told me it was the right thing to do and you know as an actor there is so much downtime you want to fill it with something else and as a writer you know sometimes you're doing a passion project, sometimes it's a paid gig, sometimes there is nothing, so you can do a journalistic piece.” TryingKindSometimesPassionLuckyInsaneRight ThingGutsMultiple Author:John Buffalo Mailer
