“I was back on track, raring to go and then the insomnia kicked in. When you don't sleep, your faculties are not as sharp as they would normally be. My memory has been affected, I'm not as mentally agile as I would be if I were sleeping properly. I can't work because to act you need to be able to learn your lines and I can't do that at the moment. Insomnia is awful. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.” IfsNeedsHas BeensI CanMomentsWould BeAbleWishLinesMemoriesSleepEnemyWorstTrackAwfulFacultyAffectedInsomniaWorst EnemyBack On Track Author:Emily Lloyd
“Our reading can affect our imaginations in ways of which we are not consciously aware. It is quite common...to re-read something after a gap of many years and realize that it has been there all along, without any memory of where it was first encountered. But it may have been working away all the time.” WayYearsFirstsMayHas BeensReadingRealizingImaginationMemoriesCommonGaps Author:Tom Shippey

“What makes me a believer is that from time to time, going back almost as far as my memory will go back, there have been glimpses I've had. Sometimes literally a glimpse which made me suspect the presence of something extraordinary and beyond the realm of the immediate. That's what I think a lot of what my writing has been, my preaching has been - trying to listen to that voice again, to see those moments again.” ThinkingWritingTryingHas BeensMadeSometimesMomentsVoiceMemoriesExtraordinaryBelieverRealmsSuspectsPreachingGlimpse Author:Frederick Buechner
“There have been studies done on people who meditate and they have found that they actually have increased grey matter in certain parts of their brain and more neural conductivity, meaning more connections between certain parts of the brain.

“His name was Michael R. Ross. I've never known what the "R" was for. He died, however, before I was 7. But he and I seemed to have had quite a nice relationship. He always called me grandlady, and he'd always talk to you as a person rather than as a child. So, I would go with him for his routes in his horse and buggy. So, my memory of him is pretty sharp, plus it has been accentuated by the stories that come out of the family.” ChildrenPersonsHas BeensStoriesNamesMemoriesKnownNiceHorseDiedPlusRoutes Author:Ella Baker
