“Yet housekeeping actually offers more opportunities for savoring achievement than almost any other work I can think of. Each of its regular routines brings satisfaction when it is completed. These routines echo the rhythm of life, and the housekeeping rhythm is the rhythm of the body. You get satisfaction not only from the sense of order, cleanliness, freshness, peace and plenty restored, but from the knowledge that you yourself and those you care about are going to enjoy these benefits.” ThinkingI CanBodyCareOrderOpportunityEnjoyOffersAchievementBenefitsSatisfactionRhythmPlentyEchoesCleanlinessFreshnessHousekeepingSavoringRhythm Of Life Author:Cheryl Mendelson
“In more day-to-day restaurants, things have undergone a seismic change towards informality and sharing, which has been years in the making. Nowadays, people don't want just one dish; they want to order lots of things and they want to do it in fun places, places that give them an experience. The experience that a restaurant needs to offer is no longer just based around the food.” PeopleWantNeedsGivingYearsHas BeensOrderFunOffersRestaurantsJust OneDishesDay To DayInformality Author:Ferran Adria
“Life is fragmentary, and the pattern that creativity can offer is not one that is imposed, not something rigid, but rather something which can reveal the intrinsic patterns of that fragmentation.

“In a brilliant fusion of fact and fiction, Jayne Anne Phillips has written the novel of the year. It's the story of a serial killer's crimes and capture, yes, but it's also a compulsively readable story of how one brave woman faces up to acts of terrible violence in order to create something good and strong in the aftermath. Quiet Dell will be compared to In Cold Blood, but Phillips offers something Capote could not: a heroine who lights up the dark places and gives us hope in our humanity.” GivingYearsFactsStoriesLightFacesHumanityOrderStrongDarkFictionNovelViolenceWrittenBloodCrimeColdTerribleOffersQuietBraveBrilliantCaptureKillersHeroinesSerialsLight UpAftermathFusionSerial KillerDark PlacesDellBrave WomenFact And Fiction Author:Stephen King
“Pity is a sense of our own misfortunes in those of another man; it is a sort of foresight of the disasters which may befall ourselves.

“I am somewhat of a meliorist. That is to say, I act as an optimist because I find I cannot act at all, as a pessimist. One often feels helpless in the face of the confusion of these times, such a mass of apparently uncontrollable events and experiences to live through, attempt to understand, and if at all possible, give order to; but one must not withdraw from the task if he has some small things to offer - he does so at the risk of diminishing his humanity.” IfsGivingFeelsDoeFacesHumanityOrderRiskEventsOffersMassTasksConfusionHelplessOptimistSmall ThingsPessimistUncontrollable Author:Bernard Malamud
