“Writing for me always requires trickery. Tricking myself into sitting down, letting words tumble out until you find the good ones. It's sort of a trance. And when a piece is done, I have little memory of how I wrote it, and zero confidence I'd ever be able to do it again.” WritingLittlesDoneAbleMemoriesPiecesSittingZeroSitting DownTranceTrickery Author:John Hodgman
“I love out-of-the-way, rugged places. For me, holidays are about the experiences, and the people, and the memories, rather than sitting on a nice beach getting tanned. I try to plant myself where I am and embrace what is there in front of me.” PeopleWayTryingMemoriesNiceFrontsSittingEmbracePlantBeachHolidayRugged Author:Evelyn Glennie

“We don't all see the same way at all. Even if I'm sitting looking at you, there is always the memory of you as well. And a memory is now. So someone who's never met you before is seeing a different person. That's bound to be the case. We all see something different. I assume most people don't look very hard at anything.” PeopleIfsWayWellsLooksPersonsDifferentHardMemoriesCasesSeeingMetsSittingAssumingBounds Author:David Hockney
“I've been hooked on films ever since I can remember renting VHS tapes. But who got me hooked? I think life did. There wasn't a person or a mentor that got me hooked. I think it was the films themselves that influenced me. A specific memory that comes to mind is watching 'Goodfellas' when I was 12 and thought Robert De Niro looked so cool sitting at the bar smoking a cigarette and contemplating his next "move". I actually would copy his faces gestures and try and get into his mind frame. I would borrow mad dad's clothes and pretend I was a Mobster. So I guess I have to thank Robert DeNiro.” ThinkingTryingMindPersonsI CanRememberFilmFacesMovingNextMemoriesDadClothesSittingMadBarsSmokingCopiesGesturesTapeContemplatingMentorCigaretteHookedDe NiroMobsterNext Move Author:Jaime Zevallos
