“I am not a romantic. I am a domestic animal. I do not sigh and yearn for extravagant displays of passion, for the grand affair, the world well lost for love. I know all that, and know that it leaves you lonely. No, what I crave is the simplicity of routine. An evening walk, arm in arm, in fine weather. A game of cards. Time for idle talk. Preparing a meal together.” KnowsWorldWellsTogetherRomancePassionGamesLostWalksAnimalArmsFineLonelyAffairSimplicityWeatherCardsEveningMealsRoutineDisplayIdlePreparingSighCraveExtravagantFine Weather Author:Anita Brookner
“There was zero time for reflection. We had to feed the prisoners three meals a day, deal with the prisoner breakdowns, deal with their parents, run a parole board. By the third day I was sleeping in my office. I had become the superintendent of the Stanford county jail. That was who I was: I'm not the researcher at all. Even my posture changes--when I walk through the prison yard, I'm walking with my hands behind my back, which I never in my life do, the way generals walk when they're inspecting troops.” WayHandsRunningThreeParentSleepWalksDealsBehindsWalkingOfficeReflectionThirdsPrisonBoardsMealsJailZeroPrisonerTroopsYardsCountyBreakdownPostureResearchersSleeping InParoleStanfordBehind My BackSuperintendents Author:Philip Zimbardo

“I can't walk down the streets. It's very difficult. I can't go to the mall. I have to go to hotels just to have a meal. Everybody wants to say hi and say thank you and congratulate me, so it's very difficult.” WantI CanDifficultWalksStreetsMealsHotelMallsSaying Thank You Author:Manny Pacquiao
“It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it.” NightWalksRoomsWeekTownsMilesMealsTemplesSundayBottlesKrishnaCokeDepositsHaresDormsGood MealsSunday NightHare KrishnaDorm Rooms Author:Steve Jobs
