“What do I want to express? The subject means little. The arrangement, the design, colour, shape, depth, light, space, mood, movement, balance, not one or all of these fills the bill. There is something additional, a breath that draws your breath into its breathing, a heartbeat that pounds on yours, a recognition of the oneness of all things.” WantMeanLittlesLightSpaceSubjectsDesignMovementBalanceShapesDrawsAll ThingsBreathsBillsDepthMoodOnenessRecognitionBreathingColourPoundsArrangementsHeartbeat Book:Hundreds and Thousands: The Journals of Emily Carr Source: Hundreds and Thousands: The Journals of Emily Carr

“I believe a good writer can write a good book with any sort of character, in any sort of setting, but I prefer to write about the outsider. It might just be because I've been one (or perceived myself to be one) for so much of my life. But the simple fact of being marginalized immediately brings conflict to a story before the narrative even begins, and that's gold for a writer because it means that your character already has depth before events begin to unfold.” WritingBelieveMeanBookCharacterFactsStoriesMightI BelieveSimpleEventsConflictGoldDepthSettingSettingsNarrativeOutsidersGood BookGood WritersMarginalized Author:Charles de Lint
“To answer oppression with appropriate resistance requires knowledge of two kinds: in the first place, self-knowledge by the victim, which means awareness that oppression exists, an awareness that the victim has fallen from a great height of glory or promise into the present depths; secondly, the victim must know who the enemy is. He must know his oppressor's real name, not an alias, a pseudonym, or a nom de plume!” KnowsFirstsKindMeanTwoRealSelfNamesAnswersEnemyAwarenessPromiseGloryVictimDepthResistanceOppressionHeightFallenAppropriateSelf KnowledgeOppressorsAliasesGreat HeightsPseudonyms Book:The Education of a British-Protected Child Source: The Education of a British-Protected Child
“Continental thinkers have been obsessed with bourgeois man as representing the worst and most contemptible failure of modernity, which must at all costs be overcome. Nihilism in its most palpable sense means that the bourgeois has won, that the future, all foreseeable futures, belong to him, that all heights above him and all depths beneath him are illusory and that life is not worth living on these terms.” MenMeanHas BeensLife IsTermWorstCostOvercomingDepthHeightObsessedThinkerWorth LivingModernityNihilismLiving OnBourgeoisRepresentingIllusoryContinentalLife Is Not Worth Living Author:Allan Bloom
“I guess most of us would rather not discuss cancer because we are all afraid we might be told we have it. It's hard for people to even say the word, and that's the first obstacle you have to overcome when you are diagnosed with the disease. I think once you understand a little more about it ... I don't mean it gets any easier ... but I think you give it more in-depth thought about how you're going to deal with it.” PeopleThinkingGivingFirstsMeanLittlesHardMightDealsEasierDiseaseOvercomingDepthCancerObstacles Author:Arnold Palmer
