“Human beings go to church. The guy in the front dressed in black is the guy you defer to.

“Someone once told me a story about long term relationships. To think of them as a continent to explore. I could spend a lifetime backpacking through Africa, and I would still never know all there is to know about that continent. To stay the course, to stay intentional, to stay curious and connected - that's the heart of it. But it's so easy to lose track of the trail, to get tired, to want to give up, or to want a new adventure. It can be so easy to lose sight of the goodness and mystery within the person sitting right in front of you.” ThinkingKnowsWantGivingHeartPersonsLongStillsStoriesCoursesEasyTermLosesMysteryFrontsAdventureGoodnessGiving UpSittingSightTiredLifetimeTrackConnectedCuriousLong TermContinentsTrailsBackpackingLong Term RelationshipNew Adventure Author:Joy Williams
“Improvisation, it is a mystery. You can write a book about it, but by the end no one still knows what it is. When I improvise and I'm in good form, I'm like somebody half sleeping. I even forget there are people in front of me. Great improvisers are like priests; they are thinking only of their god.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWritingStillsBookEndsFormSleepForgetHalfMysteryFrontsPriestsImprovisation Book:Jazz Violin Source: Jazz Violin

“Movies have an enormous power to open the mind and the heart and everything. You are sitting and seeing something moving in front of you, and then your mind goes into a trance. You are completely there. It's a real great art; it's not only a business. It's to open the mind, to understand this mystery within reality. This is why we need it.” NeedsMindHeartArtRealRealityMovingSeeingMysteryFrontsSittingEnormousGreat ArtMoving InTrance Author:Alejandro Jodorowsky
“Donald Trump is the most outspoken, transparent, here's what I want to do, here's what I think we should do. There's no mystery here. But since other politicians aren't that transparent, since they don't act that up front, they just can't accept that anybody would.

“I'm never going to believe a Poirot mystery again. Never. All those witnesses going, "Yes, I remember it was 3:06 p.m. exactly, because I glanced at the clock as I reached for the sugar tongs, and Lady Favisham was quite clearly sitting on the right-hand side of the fireplace." Bollocks. They have no idea where Lady Favisham was, they just don't want to admit it in front of Poirot. I'm amazed he gets anywhere.” WantBelieveIdeasHandsRememberSidesMysteryFrontsSittingWitnessNo IdeaClockSugarAmazedFireplaces Author:Sophie Kinsella
