“Eric Schlosser's book on the economy and strategies of the fast-food business should be read by anyone who likes to take their children to fast-food restaurants. I shall certainly never do that again. He employs a long, cold burn, a quiet and impassioned accumulation of detail, with calm, wit and clarity. (...) Fast Food Nation is witness to the rigour and seriousness of the best American journalism, readable, reliable and extremely carefully done.” ShouldChildrenLongBookDoneNationsEconomyColdQuietStrategyCalmDetailsWitLikesClarityJournalismWitnessRestaurantsSeriousnessAccumulationEricFast FoodImpassionedRigourBest AmericanFast Food NationFast Food Restaurants Author:Adam Nicolson
“God is bigger than time, dates, and appointments. He wants you to move through this day with a quiet heart, an inward assurance that He is in control, a peaceful certainty that your life is in His hands, a deep trust in His plan and purposes, and a thankful disposition, toward all that He allows. He wants you to put your faith in Him, not in a timetable. He wants you to wait on Him and wait for Him. In His perfect way He will put everything together, see to every detail... arrange every circumstance... and order every step to bring to pass what He has for you.” WayWantLifeBelieveHeartGodHandsChristianTogetherMovingLife IsPurposeFaithOrderBeliefWaitingReligiousPerfectLordStepsPlansTrustConfidenceCircumstancesQuietBiggerDetailsChristian InspirationalPeacefulCertaintyThis DayHave FaithTrust In GodInwardDispositionAssuranceCommitment To GodEvery StepConfidence In GodAppointmentsGreatness Of GodGod Within UsKeep The FaithGod Is In ControlKeep BelievingThank You GodGod Has A PlanInstruments Of GodTimetablesWait For HimPleasing GodHave A Little FaithQuiet Heart Author:Roy Lessin
“Anyone can see that to write Uncle Tom's Cabin on the knee in the kitchen, with constant calls to cooking and other details of housework to punctuate the paragraphs, was a more difficult achievement than to write it at leisure in a quiet room.” WritingDifficultRoomsQuietAchievementCookingConstantDetailsKneesKitchenLeisureTomsUnclesParagraphHouseworkCabinsUncle TomQuiet Room Book:Woman's Share in Social Culture Source: Woman's Share in Social Culture
“To me representing clairvoyance, how was I going to achieve that, how I was going to capture that? For me, it all became about her gaze and the way she takes you in. It's a rhythmic thing and a stillness thing to consider but these are little details, little nuances. We were invited to the sanctity of her home and there were roosters running around and she's screaming, "Jackie, be quiet!" Even though she's in the middle of the thing. And these are the details that we wanted to incorporate into our story.” WayLittlesStoriesHomeRunningWantedMiddleAchieveQuietDetailsCaptureStillnessInvitedRepresentingNuanceSanctityJackieRoostersClairvoyance Author:Vera Farmiga
“That's what I think my job in the world has been, is to sort of try to sit silently a bit and watch it all sort of move and see those small, quiet details, whether it be a small village outside of Colombo [country?] or the favelas of Brazil, where, again, resistance culture is something that you hear resonating in the streets of South Central Los Angeles as well.” ThinkingWorldTryingWellsHas BeensCountryJobsMovingCultureBitsWatchesStreetsQuietSouthDetailsResistanceLos AngelesVillageBrazilResonatingSmall VillagesFavelas Author:Kehinde Wiley
“Sit and quiet yourself. Luxuriate in a certain memory and the details will come. Let the images flow. You'll be amazed at what will come out on paper. I'm still learning what it is about the past that I want to write. I don't worry about it. It will emerge. It will insist on being told.” WantWritingStillsPastCertainMemoriesWorryQuietPaperFlowDetailsAmazed Author:Frank McCourt
