“There’s a great scene in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre [1974] that I’m obsessed with: Sally is being chased by Leatherface with a chainsaw... And she runs into thorn bushes. And she’s getting tangled up in it because she’s running fast... But Sally needs to move slowly in order to get through the bushes - she will get farther faster by going slowly because her hair and clothes won’t get tangled and caught. There’s something really beautiful about understanding that, while someone’s chasing you with a chainsaw, you have to move more slowly in order to get away.” NeedsRunningBeautifulMovingOrderUnderstandingSawsHairSceneClothesCaughtChainsFasterObsessedGet AwayTexasChasingTangledMassacresReally BeautifulChainsawRunning Fast Author:Christopher Bollen
“When we smile, the muscles around our mouth are stretched and relaxed, just like doing yoga. Smiling is mouth yoga. We release the tension from our face as we smile. Others who run into us notice it, even strangers, and are likely to smile back. It is a wonderful chain reaction that we can initiate, touching the joy in anyone we encounter. Smiling is an ambassador of goodwill.” MotivationalRunningFacesJoyWonderfulMouthsYogaStrangerReactionsChainsReleaseTensionEncountersMusclesTouchingRelaxedGoodwillAmbassadorsInitiateChain Reactions Author:Nhat Hanh
“Every question "runs in a vicious circle" because political life as a whole is an endless chain consisting of an infinite number of links.

Without history the mountain chain of great men's great moments, which runs through millennia, could not stand clearly and vividly before me.” MenNeedsMomentsRunningFightingViewsTeacherExampleMountainChainsGreat MenGreat MomentsComforter Author:Georg Brandes
