“I had looked forward to old age as a time of quietness, a time to draw my horizons about me, to watch memories ripening in the sunlight of a walled garden. But there is the void over my head and the distance within that the tireless signals come from. And astronaut on impossible journeys to the far side of the self I return with messages I cannot decipher.” SelfAgeSidesMemoriesWatchesImpossibleJourneyReturnMessagesDrawsGardenDistanceOld AgeHorizonVoidSunlightSignalsAstronautQuietnessWatch MeDecipherRipeningFar Side Author:R.

“I don't pay attention. I don't read stuff or message boards because you definitely get affected. You can read a hundred great comments, amazing comments, and have one bad one and that is all you can focus on and it wrecks your day. It says something about negativity and how it draws us somehow.” StuffPayAttentionFocusMessagesDrawsHundredPay AttentionBoardsAffectedCommentNegativityWrecks Author:Joan Jett
“The cross is a very powerful symbol and it symbolizes suffering, but it also is connected to a person who was loving and sharing and his message was about unconditional love. I tried to take a powerful image and use it to draw attention to a situation that needs attention. For me, we all need to be Jesus in our time. Jesus' message was to love your neighbor as yourself and these are people in need.” PeopleNeedsPersonsUseSufferingJesusPowerfulAttentionSituationLove YouMessagesDrawsCrossesConnectedNeighborSymbolsOur TimeUnconditional LoveUnconditionalVery PowerfulLove Your NeighborLove Your Neighbor As Yourself Author:Madonna Ciccone
“I glean a few times a week, and it's all about the subject line. I look for the lyrical, "Billowy Red Scarf Girl" or the funny, "Hipster Chick Who Passed Gas," the unintentionally funny, "Looking for the Hot Girl in Pink Dress," ones that immediately suggest images, "Furry Arms Under a Yellow Umbrella," or the plain odd, "Seeking Girl Who Bit Me Twice..." I don't think I've ever abandoned one... the images usually arrive fully formed in my head as soon as I read the message, and I decide whether to draw it or not.” ThinkingLooksGirlBitsLinesWeekSubjectsArmsMessagesDrawsRedHotDressesSeekingOddGasYellowAbandonedChicksUmbrellaLyricalHipsterScarvesFurryHot Girl Author:Sophie Blackall

“Most folks, when they see movies or hear records, need something that they find pulls them in, draws them in, and appeals to them beyond just the notes. For a record to be memorable and great, it has to have something of this quality. Exactly what that is, I don't know, but I think it has something to do with an atmosphere, an environment that is appealing and attractive. And the people that inhabit this environment have... almost a message for the rest of the world.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWorldNeedsQualityRecordsEnvironmentMessagesDrawsNotesFolksAppealsAtmosphereAttractiveMemorable Author:Ry Cooder
“I've found great virtue in two-thirds of the way into the message; right before I'm really want to nail home a point, pausing to tell a joke or to tell a light-hearted story, because I know my audience has been working with me now for 20 or 25 minutes. And if I can get them to laugh, get oxygen into their system, it wakes up those who might be sleeping, so there's something about using a story to draw people back in right before you drive home your final point. In that case I think it's real legitimate just to use a story for story's sake.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWayWantHas BeensI CanTwoRealStoriesUseHomeLightMightFoundSleepCasesAudienceLaughingVirtueMinutesMessagesDrawsJokesThirdsWake UpFinalsSakeNailsOxygenHeartedPausingLight Hearted Author:Max Lucado
“Part of my message is that God never said that we weren't going to have difficulties, but you know what, He said to stay full of joy and I'm going to help you overcome. So I think that is what resonates with people and helps draw so many people. Because it is not a message that you are barely going to make it, you're a victim. We are not victims, we are victors.” PeopleThinkingKnowsSaidHelpingJoyMessagesDrawsOvercomingDifficultyVictim Author:Joel Osteen
