“I would say, stay the hell away from the party scene. Anything you put in front of your goal, and especially something like that, whether it's too much gambling, too much food, too much (sic) cold beers on the weekend - anything that you put in front of the prize is going to end up getting in the way and hurting you in the end.” WayEndsGoalHurtPartyHellToo MuchFrontsColdSceneBeerPrizeGamblingWeekendHurting YouCold Beer Author:Brad Renfro
“Look at it this way: if you write the novel of 'Cold Mountain,' it costs exactly the same to produce and market as a novel set in a room.

“You feel a certain way in a glass or concrete or limestone building. It has an effect on your skin - the same with plywood or veneer, or solid timber. Wood doesn't steal energy from your body the way glass and concrete steal heat. When it's hot, a wood house feels cooler than a concrete one, and when it's cold, the other way around.” WayFeelsBodyCertainHouseEnergyEffectsBuildingColdSkinsHotGlassesWoodsYour BodyStealingHeatConcreteTimberVeneerLimestone Author:Peter Zumthor

“The Way is basically perfect. It doesn't require perfecting. The Way has no form or sound. It's subtle and hard to perceive.

“Imaginary testing is unreliable, and in many cases, it's a huge waste of time and energy. In truth you just don't know what will happen until you try. You may start a business, and it could take off in ways no one could predict. Or it could be a complete failure. You could ask for a date and end up with the partner of your dreams. Or you could be rejected cold. It's great to visualize what you want, but you never really know what's going to happen until you act.” KnowsWayWantTryingMayEndsDreamHappensActionAsksEnergyCasesHugeColdWasteWhat You WantPartnersYour DreamsWasting TimeImaginaryRejectedTestingTime And EnergyUnreliable Author:Steve Pavlina
“The main reason for civilization is that life is more comfortable. In a way, houses are there to protect us from rain, cold, and heat; cars are there to overcome distances. Culture is the exception. Music, art, and all of the different cultural expressions are not going in that direction. They're not about comfort; they're about understanding each other.” WayArtDifferentReasonLife IsCultureHouseUnderstandingCarExpressionColdComfortCivilizationProtectComfortableRainOvercomingDistanceHeatExceptionUnderstanding Each Other Author:Pipilotti Rist
