“The fools who write articles about me think that one morning I suddenly decided to write and began to produce masterpieces. There is no special trick about writing, or painting either. I wrote constantly for 15 years before I produced anything with any solidity to it.” ThinkingWritingYearsMorningSpecialProducePaintingFoolDecidedExperienceTricksArticlesMasterpieceSolidity Book:Letters: selected and edited with an introd. and notes by Howard Mumford Jones, in association with Walter B.

“I have taken special interest in these accounts [of UFOs].. I think there may be substance to some of these reports...

“In college, unable to be "special" - or in demand - as a girl, I made myself useful, even essential, in my microcosm - as a writer and photographer for the band, particularly for the band director. My "specialness" was to produce something of value, not to look like something (with that different kind of "value"), so I was still fundamentally invisible, but had a significant purpose.” LooksKindMadeStillsDifferentPurposeValuesGirlSpecialProduceCollegeBandDirectorsDemandEssentialsPhotographerSignificantInvisibleDifferent KindsLike SomethingMicrocosmSpecialness Author:Cris Mazza
“Good action and thoughts produce consequences which tend to neutralize, or put a stop to, the result of evil thoughts and actions. For as we give up the life of self (and note that, like forgiveness, repentance and humility are also special cases of giving), as we abandon what the German mystics called "the I, me, mine," we make ourselves progressively capable of receiving grace. By grace we are enabled to know reality more completely, and this knowledge of reality helps us to give up more of the life of selfhood - and so on, in a mounting spiral of illumination and regeneration.” KnowsGivingSelfHelpingRealityActionEvilResultsCasesGraceSpecialProduceHumilityMinesGiving UpCapableConsequenceNotesAbandonRepentanceReceivingIlluminationSpiralsRegenerationThoughts And ActionsGood ActionsEvil Thoughts Author:Aldous Huxley
“Our camera does not produce pretty pictures, but exact duplications that, through our renunciation of photographic effects, turn out to be relatively objective.

“The winter solstice has always been special to me as a barren darkness that gives birth to a verdant future beyond imagination, a time of pain and withdrawal that produces something joyfully inconceivable, like a monarch butterfly masterfully extracting itself from the confines of its cocoon, bursting forth into unexpected glory.” GivingPainImaginationDarknessSunSpecialProduceBirthGloryWinterUnexpectedButterflyBarrenMonarchsWithdrawalBurstingCocoonsSolsticeSpecial To MeMonarch ButterflyWinter Solstice Author:Gary Zukav
