“The one thing I miss is hitchhiking. Now there's no more of that. When's the last time you saw a hitchhiker? It's not that I consider it a great sport, but it was my way of seeing the country.

“That was the one thing about the rain that likened it to sorrow: You did your best to remain untouched, safe and dry, but if and when you failed, there came a point in which you started seeing the problem less in terms of drops than as an incessant gush, and thereby you decide you might as well get drenched.” IfsWellsProblemMightTermSeeingOne ThingSorrowSafeRainDryIncessantIfs And Author:Elif Safak
“Ruthven surmised that he had hit upon some of the central deceptions which had wrecked him and reduced him and so many of his colleagues to this condition. To surmise was not to conquer, of course; he was as helpless as ever but there was a dim liberation in seeing how he had been lied to, and he felt that at least he could take one thing from the terrible years through which he had come: he was free of self-delusion.” YearsSelfCoursesFeltSeeingOne ThingConditionsTerribleConquerDeceptionLiberationDelusionHelplessColleaguesLiedSelf Delusion Book:Breakfast in the Ruins Source: Breakfast in the Ruins
“The one thing I cannot stand is when I do interviews, when I interview people, and I listen to the tapes and I hear myself talking and sort of stumble and stammer, or I hear the horrible sound of my own voice, or God forbid I see myself on video, there is that complete revulsion with seeing how I occur in the world.” PeopleWorldSoundVoiceMy OwnTalkingSeeingOne ThingHorribleVideoInterviewsTapeRevulsion Author:Chuck Palahniuk

“The one thing about kids is that you never really know exactly what they're thinking or how they're seeing. After writing about kids, which is a little bit like putting the experience under a magnifying glass, you realize you have no idea how you thought as a kid. I've come to the conclusion that most of the things that we remember about our childhood are lies. We all have memories that stand out from when we were kids, but they're really just snapshots. You can't remember how you reacted because your whole head is different when you stand aside.” ThinkingKnowsWritingLittlesIdeasDifferentWholeKidsRememberLyingBitsRealizingMemoriesSeeingOne ThingChildhoodLittle BitOur ChildrenGlassesConclusionNo IdeaStanding OutSnapshotsMagnifyingMagnifying Glass Author:Stephen King
“I think with being blind the one thing you would have going is that you could still feel things, see your way around so to speak. And if you had had the experience of seeing at one time in your life, then you would know what it was like and be able to function.

“The older I get, the one thing I can trust in myself more than anything else is the way I feel about something.
