“It seems to me that Mr. Sculley understood the very nucleus of existence, that he had kept his young eyes and young heart even though his body had grown old. He saw straight through to the cosmic order of things, and he knew that life is not held only in flesh and bone, but also in those objects - a good, faithful pair of shoes; a reliable car; a pen that always works; a bike that has taken you many a mile.” HeartBodySeemsEyeYoungLife IsOrderExistenceTakenSawsCarObjectsUnderstoodShoesBonesFleshMilesFaithfulPairsPensCosmicBikePair Of ShoesGood FaithNucleusYoung At Heart Author:Robert R.

“I don't think she [Marilyn Monroe] saw herself as victimized and a sex object. She knew how to contend with it. I'm sure she was no fool about it. On the one hand, it was very flattering and great; on the other hand, it was probably awful and could be very lascivious and very terrible. But I think a lot of women just wanted to be like her.

“Back in the early 1960s, when I was eight or nine. Some neighborhood boys and I saw a disc-shaped, windowless object that hovered, silent, then simply vanished.

“I saw the Vietnam Veterans Memorial not as an object placed into the earth but as a cut in the earth that has then been polished, like a geode.

“When I first learned about Abrams and saw the types of books they were making, I knew I wanted my books to be published by them. Abrams books are special-when you hold one in your hands, you have the feeling that this book needed to be made. I once heard an artist say that books are fetish objects-I think Abrams gets that, because their books demand to be treasured. So who better to give comics art its proper due? I feel privileged to have found a home with Abrams.” ThinkingGivingFeelsFirstsArtMadeBookFeelingsHomeHandsWantedArtistFoundSawsHeardSpecialObjectsTypeNeededDemandDuesPrivilegedFetishTreasuredAbram Author:Jeff Kinney
“I had a weird one a few years ago when I woke up one night, went to the window and saw a girl sitting on the kerb across the road just staring at me. Freaky. We get nice gifts for the kids too.

“The object is not so much to get you to keep a journal while you are young, as it is to get you to continue it after you become men and women, even through your whole lives. This is especially needed in the generation in which you live, for you live in as important a generation as the children of men ever saw, and it is far more important that you should begin early to keep a journal and follow the practice while you live, than that other generations should do so.” MenShouldChildrenImportantWholeYoungPracticeSawsGenerationsObjectsNeededMen And WomenWhole LifeJournalChildren Of Men Author:Wilford Woodruff
