“I dug it, New York City, all-the streets and the snows and the starving and the five-flight walkups and sleeping in rooms with ten people. I dug the trains and the shadows, the way I dug ore mines and coal mines. I just jumped right to the bottom of New York.” PeopleWaySleepRoomsCitiesFiveStreetsNew YorkMinesTenShadowTrainBottomSnowFlightNew York CityCoalStarvingSleeping In Author:Bob Dylan
“I hate repetition. Even when I am home and have to buy milk, I go a different way each time to avoid having a habit of anything. Habits are really bad. So to me it is really important to live in what I call the spaces in-between. Bus stations, trains, taxis or waiting rooms in airports are the best places because you are open to destiny, you are open to everything and anything can happen.” WayImportantDifferentHomeHappensHateWaitingSpaceRoomsDestinyHabitI HateTrainDifferent WaysStationsBusMilkRepetitionAirportsTaxiBest PlaceAnything Can HappenWaiting Rooms Author:Marina Abramovic
“No music. No rituals. At home I write in my office or on the laptop in the kitchen where our puppy likes to sleep, and I love his company. But I've trained myself to be able to work anywhere, and I write on trains, planes, in automobiles (if I'm not the driver), airports, hotel rooms. I travel often. If I couldn't write wherever I was I would get little done. I also can write in short bursts. Fifteen minutes are enough to move a story forward.” IfsWritingLittlesDoneEnoughStoriesHomeAbleMovingSleepRoomsCompanyMinutesOfficeTrainLikesPlanesKitchenHotelDriversRitualFifteenAirportsAutomobilePuppyLaptopsHotel Rooms Author:Gail Carson Levine

“The serious reader in the age of technology is a rebel by definition: a protester without a placard, a Luddite without hammer or bludgeon. She reads on planes to picket the antiseptic nature of modern travel, on commuter trains to insist on individualism in the midst of the herd, in hotel rooms to boycott the circumstances that separate her from her usual sources of comfort and stimulation, during office breaks to escape from the banal conversation of office mates, and at home to revolt against the pervasive and mind-deadening irrelevance of television.” MindHomeAgeRoomsBreakTechnologyModernTelevisionSeriousSourceReaderCircumstancesComfortConversationOfficeTrainDefinitionsPlanesHotelMidstRebelMatesUsualIndividualismHammersHerdsRevoltStimulationHotel RoomsBoycottIrrelevance Author:Eric Burns
