“I really enjoy work to a purpose. Maybe that makes me kind of strange. In some ways - and this is going to sound awful - it could be that writing is the worst job that I've ever had. Because it's so much more important to me and there's so much more opportunity for failure and I have so many people depending on me. In some ways it's the most satisfying, the most gratifying, and the most rewarding job I've ever had. But I actually would say it's probably the worst job I've ever had too.” PeopleWayWritingKindImportantJobsPurposeOpportunityEnjoySoundWorstStrangeAwfulSatisfying Author:Patrick Rothfuss
“Tardiness is next to wickedness in a society relentless in its consumption of time as both a good and a service--as tweet and Instagram, film clip and sound bite, as sporting event, investment opportunity, Tinder hookup, and interest rate--its value measured not by its texture or its substance but by the speed of its delivery, a distinction apparent to Andy Warhol when he supposedly said that any painting that takes longer than five minutes to make is a bad painting.” SaidFilmValuesNextOpportunitySoundInterestFiveMinutesEventsPaintingInvestmentRateSpeedSubstanceDistinctionBitesConsumptionWickednessFive MinutesRelentlessInstagramTextureTweetDeliveryInterest RateClipWarholSound BitesSporting EventsTinderTardiness Author:Lewis H.

“Conservatives or better, pro-corporate apologists hijacked the vocabulary of Jeffersonian liberalism and turned words like "progress," "opportunity," and "individualism" into tools for making the plunder of America sound like divine right.

“I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.” ThinkingKnowsWayNeedsOpportunityGivenSoundPracticeSuccessfulHavensToleranceSlap Author:Mel Gibson
“The Assembly passed a budget that makes the right choices for young students across the state by helping schools avoid cutting essential educational programs, laying off teachers and increasing local property taxes.

“What we hear now is great-sounding records with great-sounding grooves and loops. And the sound of these records is irresistible, but the craft of songwriting is just about over.
