“We've all had the experience of you pick up a book, you can't get into it, you can't concentrate.Then one day you pick up the same book and you don't hear the phone ring. You're totally absorbed. Same thing I have to do every day. When you get into that special place of unconsciousness - you get it listening to great music or seeing a great movie - it just takes you out of yourself, out of this whole world. There's no feeling quite like it.” WorldBookWholeFeelingsSeeingSpecialListeningOne DayPicksPhonesRingsWhole WorldGreat MusicSpecial PlacesUnconsciousness Author:T.C. Boyle
“It will never be the case that people won't eat meat. I think it could conceivably be the case one day that people eat very small amounts of it. That it's a special thing, rather than reach for it because it's cheap or reach for it because it's convenient, that it becomes something festive or something celebratory, once a week, and that could actually be achieved on small farms if we really changed our habits.” PeopleIfsThinkingCasesWeekSpecialChangedAmountHabitOne DayMeatFarmsConvenientSmall AmountsFestiveSpecial Things Author:Jonathan Safran Foer
“When I was growing up, there was a man who gave me lessons and things. I'm very dyslexic so he used to give me extra reading and writing. And he always knew that I was interested in stuff but he never told me that he was in the Second World War himself. One day he gave me his helmet that he had worn through the North Africa Campaign. It was just before he died. So I've got his helmet. That was pretty special to me.” MenWorldGivingWritingWarUsedReadingStuffGrowing UpGrowingSpecialLessonsOne DayGive MeDiedCampaignsWar Of The WorldsExtrasWornSecond World WarHelmetReading And WritingDyslexicSpecial To MeNorth Africa Author:Jeremy Irvine
“Think of a book special to you, and how much bleaker and poorer your life would be if that one writer had not existed - if that one writer had not, a hundred times or a thousand, made the choice to write. You're going to be that one writer one day for somebody you may never meet.

“One day in 1965 Rajiv wrote me from London, where he was studying, and informed me, 'You're always asking me about girls, whether I have a special girl, and so forth. Well, I've met a special girl.' And when Rajiv returned to India, I asked him, 'Do you still think about her in the same way?' And he said yes. But she couldn't get married until she was twenty-one, and until she was sure she'd like to live in India.

“Growing up I never had a perfume. I was like oh, one day when I'm grownup and have money I'm going to wear perfume.

“If a man we don't know phones us up one day and talks a little, makes no suggestions, says nothing special, but nevertheless pays us the kind of attention we rarely receive, we're quite capable of going to bed with him that night, feeling relatively in love. That's what we women are like, and there's nothing wrong with that - it's the nature of the female to open herself to love easily.” IfsKnowsMenKindLittlesFeelingsNightPayAttentionSpecialOne DayBedCapableFemalePhonesNeverthelessSuggestions Author:Paulo Coelho
