“At lucky moments this emanation could overwhelm the spectator in such a way, that because of all sorts of associations in his thinking, he could finally be taken to those areas which also had moved me so deeply and made me think I should draw the attention of others to it.” ThinkingWayShouldMadeMomentsAttentionTakenLuckyDrawsAreasMovedAssociationSpectators Author:Antoni Tapies
“The desire to give advice is itself a symptom of disapproval; and further, it is usually the result of a desire to express that disapproval. And we are most moved to give advice to those for whom our affection and regard may be taken for granted, but to whom we would rather express our disapproval. We cannot go to them and say that we disapprove of them. That would not be affectionate, and might lead to reprisals. But we can give them advice in which the disapproval is implied and which yet seems innocently helpful.” GivingMaySeemsMightDesireResultsTakenAdviceRegardMovedAffectionGrantedHelpfulSymptomsAffectionateTaken For GrantedImpliedDisapprovalReprisal Author:John William Mackail

“Having spent years ruining the housing markets with their interference, leading to a housing meltdown that has taken the whole economy down with it, politicians have now moved on into micro-managing automobile companies and medical care.

And that is not going to happen until the voters recognize the fact that political rhetoric is no substitute for competence.” YearsWholeFactsHappensCarePoliticalCompanyEconomyTakenPoliticianMovedMedicalSubstitutesVotersRhetoricHousingCompetenceAutomobileInterferenceMoved OnMedical CareMeltdownsHousing MarketPolitical Rhetoric Author:Thomas Sowell
“How come Mom is crazy and I'm not? Well, it's possible my mom could stand up in front of this many people and talk about all the crap in her life and those people could have sat around and laughed with her, it would've meant nothing and she could have moved on cool.
