“For me, the moment the mic is on and it's rolling, it's impossible to vocally relax for some reason. But one day, I'm going to be able to sing the way I sang when I was a little kid, completely open and free. That's, I think, the one thing that's changed: Growing older, I'm not ashamed to hear my voice.” ThinkingWayLittlesReasonMomentsKidsAbleVoiceGrowingImpossibleOne ThingChangedOne DayAshamedRelaxRollingLittle KidGrowing OldGrowing OlderMics Author:Cat Power

“When I was a student at Cambridge I remember an anthropology professor holding up a picture of a bone with 28 incisions carved in it. "This is often considered to be man's first attempt at a calendar" she explained. She paused as we dutifully wrote this down. 'My question to you is this - what man needs to mark 28 days? I would suggest to you that this is woman's first attempt at a calendar. It was a moment that changed my life. In that second I stopped to question almost everything I had been taught about the past. How often had I overlooked women's contributions?” MenNeedsFirstsHumansMomentsPastRememberWomenChangedStudentsTaughtMarkFeministBonesContributionProfessorsAttemptingAnthropologyCalendarsChanged My LifeOverlookedCambridgeCarvingContribution To Society28 Days Author:Sandi Toksvig
“So, The Color Purple changed my life. It changed everything about my life because, in that moment of praying and letting go, I really understood the principle of surrender.

“Canoeing was hard and scary, and the wind could blow you across the lake if you did it wrong. After a year of not doing it right, I could talk to people and get them to sit up straight, take different kinds of chances, to breathe differently, to engage in the moment in the boat. And I changed them, and I changed me in the process.” PeopleIfsYearsKindDifferentHardMomentsProcessChanceChangedWindBlowScaryBreatheBoatLakesDifferent KindsCanoeing Author:Seth Godin
“Dachau has been my own lifelong point of no return. Between the moment when I walked through the gate of that prison, with its infamous motto, 'Arbeit Macht Frei,' and when I walked out at the end of a day that had no ordinary scale of hours, I was changed, and how I looked at the human condition, the world we live in, changed ...

“Five golden years, Heart of Mine, have we walked the way of life together, and there is not an hour I would have changed; there is no moment when I would have you other than you have been. It is the fashion these days, I know, to say that love ends at the altar, but it is not so. You and I have found the old dream of the world divinely true. It is neither a poet's fancy nor a trick of the imagination, but a thing of fadeless and unending beauty.” KnowsWorldWayYearsHeartHas BeensEndsMomentsDreamTogetherFoundHoursImaginationFiveFashionChangedMinesPoetTricksGoldenThese DaysFancyAltarsUnendingLife TogetherGolden Years Book:Later Love Letters of a Musician Source: Later Love Letters of a Musician
