“It considers not only how we relate to others, but how we relate to our ideas of others so that a completely phony, non-human replica of a dead wife can inspire the same feelings that the wife herself once did. That is a peculiarity of humans: We feel the same emotions for our ideas as we do for the real world, which is why we can cry while reading a book, or fall in love with movie stars. Our idea of humanity bewitches us, while humanity itself stays safely sealed away into its billions of separate containers, or "people.” PeopleWorldFeelsHumansBookIdeasRealFeelingsHumanityFallReadingStarsEmotionWifeCryInspireFalling In LoveBillionsRelateReal WorldMovie StarPhonyContainersReplica Book:Roger Ebert's Movie Yearbook 2005 Source: Roger Ebert's Movie Yearbook 2005
“I don't like going out. I hate clubs. I hate being around too many people. I love my home and staying in bed and watching Dancing With the Stars or reading a Danielle Steel novel. I'm kind of boring.” PeopleKindHomeHateReadingStarsNovelBedI HateDancingClubsBoringStayingGoing OutSteelDancing With The Stars Author:Britney Spears
“As an author, I don't really think too much about being a celebrity. It's not like being a movie star or a TV star. It's not as if people recognize me when I walk down the street. That hardly ever happens, and it's just as well. But it is great when people know my books, when I walk through an airport and see them in the bookstore, or when I see someone reading a book on a plane or on a train, and it's something I've written. That's a wonderful feeling.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWellsBookFeelingsHappensReadingStarsWalksToo MuchWonderfulWrittenStreetsTvsTrainPlanesMovie StarAirportsBookstores Author:Rick Riordan
“I'm finding that people reading the book [The Heroin Diaries: A Year In The Life Of A Shattered Rock Star] are saying, "You came from one background, I came from this background - you were a rock star, I was a CEO. I didn't have a heroin/coke problem, but I had a pill problem. But I also fell from grace, didn't know how to get recovery, and I am now in recovery." People tell me that their kids read it and told them they'll never do drugs - "This book really shows me where it goes."” PeopleKnowsYearsBookShowsProblemKidsReadingStarsKnow HowGraceRocksDrugFindingsBackgroundsRecoveryShow MeCeoPillsDiariesRock StarShatteredHeroinCoke Author:Nikki Sixx
“When I was a kid and my parents started talking about politics, I'd run to my room and put on the Rolling Stones as loud as I could. So when I see all these rock stars up there talking politics, it makes me sick... If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal.” IfsPlayRunningKidsNightOrderReadingStarsParentSleepRoomsTalkingRocksInformationListeningStonesVoteSickBiggerLoudRollingJournalRock StarMoronRolling StonesTalking Politics Author:Alice Cooper
