“Music moves me - duh - and that is like having a window opening on a heightened reality, but the effect is fleeting: When the music ends, the magic, the uplifting, vanishes and the window slams shut. Words, on the other hand, by the nature of how they work, emotions evoked by dint of carefully laid out thoughts, have a more lingering effect.” EndsHandsRealityMovingEmotionMagicEffectsWindowOpeningUpliftingFleetingSlamLingeringDuh Author:Yann Martel

“Your street, rich street or poor Used to always be sure, on your street There's a place in your heart you know from the start Can't be complete outside of the street Keep moving on through the joy and the pain Sometimes you got to look back To the street again Would you prefer all those castles in Spain?

“In a car you're always in a compartment, and because you're used to it you don't realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a cycle the frame is gone. You're completely in contact with it all. You're in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming.” MovingUsedRealizingGoneCarTvsSceneWindowContactCyclesOverwhelmingPassiveObserversZen Motorcycle Maintenance Author:Robert M.

“...and suddenly it hits you: Human skin is actually made up of billions of tiny units of protoplasm, called "cells"! And what is even more interesting, the ones on the outside are all dying! This is a fact. Your skin is like an aggressive modern corporation, where the older veteran cells, who have finally worked their way to the top and obtained offices with nice views,are constantly being shoved out the window head first, without so much as a pension plan,by younger hotshot cells moving up from below.” WayFirstsHumansMadeFactsMovingInterestingViewsNicePlansModernDyingOfficeWindowSkinsBillionsTinyCellsCorporationsAggressiveUnitsVeteranPensionMoving UpPension Plans Author:Dave Barry
“The music I listened to when I was a kid was Sonny Boy Williams and Pinetop Perkins. He was the one who had the most influence on my playing. I saw him through a window playing piano and I thought it was unbelievable somebody could move their fingers that fast. And this is how I got interested in piano.” KidsMovingBoysSawsInfluenceWindowFingersPianoUnbelievablePlaying Piano Author:Ike Turner
“The eyelids confess, and reject, and refuse to reject. They have expressed all things ever since man was man. And they express so much by seeming to hide or to reveal that which indeed expresses nothing. For there is no message from the eye. It has direction, it moves, in the service of the sense of sight; it receives the messages of the world. But expression is outward, and the eye has it not. There are no windows of the soul, there are only curtains.” MenWorldSoulEyeMovingExpressionMessagesAll ThingsWindowSightRefuseRejectsCurtainsSeemingEyelids Author:Alice Meynell
“I think time is a constraint to destroy and then reinvent. If you give me a constraint, I'll accept it. But I always try to move it around, or to readapt it. Ecco! If you lock me in a room, well I'll go out through the window! I always remember Achille Castiglioni, one of my mentors, and he always said that in industrial design you have the idea, the fantasy, the concepts - that's the marmalade! - but the constraint of the brief is the bread. You need both in order to find structure for your ideas.” IfsThinkingNeedsGivingTryingWellsSaidIdeasRememberMovingOrderRoomsAcceptingFantasyDesignConceptsWindowGive MeStructureBreadMentorLocksConstraintsAchillesIndustrial DesignMarmalade Author:Patricia Urquiola
“I can see others in the sunlight; I can see our boats' crews and our athletic young men on the glistening water, or speckled with the moving lights of sunlit leaves; but I myself am always in the shadow looking on. Not unsympathetically, - God forbid! - but looking on alone, much as I looked at Sylvia from the shadows of the ruined house, or looked at the red gleam shining through the farmer's windows, and listened to the fall of dancing feet, when all the ruin was dark that night in the quadrangle.” MenI CanLightMovingYoungNightFallHouseWaterNatureDarkFeetShadowRedWindowDancingShiningBoatRuinsYoung ManFarmersSunlightCrewRuinedAthleticGleamShining Through Book:Hard Times (And Other Stories) Source: Hard Times (And Other Stories)
