“I went to Columbia University because they were doing a study on people who suffered from panic attacks, and because I suffered from panic attacks my whole life, I decided to be a part of it. They had this questionnaire where they asked, How many units of alcohol do you have in a month? The top answer was 40 or more, and I got really scared because I was having on average 60 or 70 drinks a week. And I realized that that was a bad sign.” PeopleWholeAnswersStudyWeekMonthsDrinkDecidedUniversityAverageScaredAlcoholI RealizedWhole LifePanicUnitsColumbiaPanic AttacksColumbia UniversityQuestionnaires Author:Moby
“The study of everything that stands connected with the death of Christ, whether it be in the types of the ceremonial law, the predictions of the prophets, the narratives of the gospels, the doctrines of the epistles, or the sublime vision of the Apocalypse, this is the food of the soul, the manna from heaven, the bread of life. This is "meat indeed" and "drink indeed."” SoulLawHeavenChristVisionStudyTypeDrinkConnectedDoctrineBreadNarrativeMeatProphetSublimePredictionsApocalypseBread Of Life Author:John Angell James
“It was there [Dijon], I now understand, that I started to grow up, to study, to make love, to eat and drink, to be me and not what I was expected to be. It was there that I learned it is blessed to receive, as well as that every human being, no matter how base, is worthy of my respect and even my envy because he knows something that I may never be old or wise or kind or tender enough to know.” KnowsHumansWellsKindMayMatterEnoughGrowsHuman BeingsGrowing UpStudyWiseDrinkBlessedWorthyEnvyExpectedMaking Love Book:Long Ago In France: The Years In Dijon Source: Long Ago In France: The Years In Dijon
“What can you conceive more silly and extravagant than to suppose a man racking his brains, and studying night and day how to fly? ... wearying himself with climbing upon every ascent, ... bruising himself with continual falls, and at last breaking his neck? And all this, from an imagination that it would be glorious to have the eyes of people looking up at him, and mighty happy to eat, and drink, and sleep, at the top of the highest trees in the kingdom.” PeopleMenWould BeEyeLastsScienceNightFallImaginationSleepBrainStudyTreeDrinkHighestSillyKingdomsGloriousNecksClimbingExtravagantAscent Author:William Law
“Those who don't feel this Love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of spring water or take in the sunset like supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep on. This Love is beyond the study of theology, that old trickery and hypocrisy. If you want to improve your mind that way, sleep on. I've given up on my brain. I've torn the cloth to shreds and thrown it away. If you're not completely naked, wrap your beautiful robe of words around you, and sleep on” IfsWayWantFeelsMindBeautifulGivenWaterSleepLove IsBrainStudyDrinkSpringRiversTheologyNakedCupsDawnHypocrisySunsetThrownPullingTornWrapsGiven UpRobesSupperTrickeryYour BeautifulSpring Water Author:Rumi
“We study health, and we deliberate upon our meats and drink and air and exercises, and we hew and we polish every stone that goes to that building; and so our health is a long and regular work. But in a minute a cannon batters all, overthrows all, demolishes all; a sickness unprevented for all our diligence, unsuspected for all our curiosity, nay, undeserved, if we consider only disorder, summons us, seizes us, possesses us, destroys us in an instant.” IfsLongStudyAirMinutesBuildingExerciseDrinkStonesCuriosityMeatInstantSicknessDisorderDeliberatePolishDiligenceCannonsDemolish Book:The Works of John Donne: Sermons.
