“That’s the secret to performance: conviction. The right note played tentatively still misses its mark, but play boldly and no one will question you. If one believes there is truth in art – and I do – then it’s troubling how similar the skill of performing is to lying. Maybe lying is itself a kind of art. I think about that more than I should.” IfsThinkingShouldBelieveKindArtStillsPlayLyingSecretMissingSkillsPerformancesMarkNotesConvictionPerforming Book:Seraphina Source: Seraphina

“The evening wind made such a disturbance just now, among some tall old elm-trees at the bottom of the garden, that neither my mother nor Miss Betsey could forbear glancing that way. As the elms bent to one another, like giants who were whispering secrets, and after a few seconds of such repose, fell into a violent flurry, tossing their wild arms about, as if their late confidences were really too wicked for their peace of mind.” IfsWayMindMadeMotherNatureSecretTreeMissingWindArmsLateGardenBottomViolentEveningGiantsWickedPeace Of MindTallSecondsBentReposeWhisperingDisturbanceElm Trees Book:The Personal History of David Copperfield ...

“By sixteen I thought, "Ah, this is all crap, you're all sheep, I'm not going to church, leave me alone." And then at a certain point in my teens I started to go to Catholic churches, by myself. Not because I wanted to be Catholic, but because I wanted to light a candle and say something like a prayer and just sit there. There was something I was missing or trying to reconnect with. But it was a secret at the time. I'd developed this cynical persona and the last thing I wanted to admit was that I was skulking around churches in my spare time.” TryingChurchPrayerSecretMissingCatholicCandleCynicalCrapLeaving MePersonaMe AloneLeave Me Alone Author:Ayana Mathis
