“Sometimes all that saves me is being willing to make mistakes. There are projects that strike me as so beautiful, important, complicated, or just plain big, that they convince me of my own inadequacy. This awful state of reverence leads to paralyzing brain freeze. At times like that the only way out is for me to decide, 'To hell with it. I can't do it right, so I'll do it wrong. I can't do it well, but I can do it badly.' Sometimes, with luck, while I'm sweating to do it wrong, I stumble on a right way.” WayWellsI CanImportantSometimesStatesBigsBeautifulCan DoMy OwnMistakeBrainHellWillingProjectsLuckComplicatedStrikesAwfulConvinceMaking MistakesReverenceRight WayFreezeI Can Do ItSave MeInadequacySweating Author:Katherine Dunn

“... many Hindus are willing to consider Jesus as a legitimate manifestation of the divine... many Buddhists see Jesus as one of humanity's most enlightened people.... A shared reappraisal of Jesus' message could provide a unique space or common ground for urgently needed religious dialogue - and it doesn't seem an exaggeration to say that the future of our planet may depend on such dialogue.

“I think I started to approach time in a different way after the accident. Before I was more willing to give my time to people and things that I wasn't as interested in because somehow I allowed myself to be brainwashed into being forced to work with other people or on other projects that I had no interest in. So simply, the accident gave me the opportunity to do what I really wanted to do.” PeopleThinkingWayGivingDifferentWantedOpportunityInterestWillingProjectsApproachAccidentsDifferent WaysMy TimeBrainwashed Author:Kanye West
