“Money is a mystery. Not only is our behavior with respect to money sometimes puzzling and erratic, but our feelings about money are often contradictory, illogical, deep-rooted, and scarcely known even to our most secret selves. We are getting better at handling money, but what it means to us, how we use it to express ourselves, and how it can help us become all that we are meant to be remain murky issues.” MeanSelfSometimesHelpingUseFeelingsMoneySecretKnownIssuesMysteryBehaviorGet BetterMeant To BeRootedContradictoryIllogicalPuzzlingErratic Author:Rosalie Maggio
“I try to write about complex issues--young people in an adult world-- full of irony and contradiction in a narrative style that relies heavily on suspense with a texture rich in emotion and imagery. I take a great deal of satisfaction in using popular forms-- the adventure, the mystery, the thriller-- so as to hold my reader with the sheer pleasure of a good story. At the same time I try to resolve my books with an ambiguity that compels engagement. In short, I want my readers to feel, to think, sometimes to laugh. But most of all I want them to enjoy a good read.” PeopleThinkingWorldWantFeelsWritingTryingBookSometimesStoriesFormYoungEnjoyPleasureDealsEmotionLaughingIssuesRichMysteryStyleAdventureReaderAdultsComplexesSatisfactionSuspenseNarrativeIronyRelyContradictionResolveEngagementSheerImageryAmbiguityTextureGood StoryThrillersGood Reads Author:Avi
“If I wrote about "being [abstraction]" I would be ignoring existential issues (such as death, limited-time, the arbitrary nature of the universe, the mystery of consciousness) that I feel affect me most in my life and think about most of the time. Another reason is that it doesn't seem specific or accurate, to me, to write about "being [abstraction]." I think there are some other reasons.” IfsThinkingFeelsWritingReasonSeemsWould BeUniverseConsciousnessIssuesMysteryAccurateExistentialAbstractionArbitraryLimited Time Author:Tao Lin
“The number one issue that Ocean Mysteries has opened my eyes to is, no matter where you are, whether you're on a beach in Hawaii, you're diving in the Pacific, you're in a remote archipelago, or you're in the middle of nowhere - I am blown away and sobered and crushed, emotionally crushed, by the amount of marine debris, of garbage, that is now in our ocean.” MatterEyeNumbersIssuesMysteryMiddleAmountOceanBeachWhere You AreHawaiiMarineGarbageCrushedPacificDivingBlown AwayDebrisMiddle Of Nowhere Author:Jeff Corwin

“What we need to know about loving is no great mystery. We all know what constitutes loving behavior; we need but act upon it, not continually question it. Over-analysis often confuses the issue and in the end brings us no closer to insight. We sometimes become too busy classifying, separating, and examining, to remember that love is easy. It's we who make it complicated.” KnowsLoveNeedsEndsSometimesRememberRomanceEasyLove IsIssuesMysteryLove YouBehaviorRomanticBusyInsightComplicatedAnalysisRomantic LoveToo BusyExaminingSeparatingClassifying Author:Leo Buscaglia
