“My boyfriend got me a computer three years ago. I'll admit it does make things a lot easier.

“We use up words like 'spiritual' so fast in this culture. Twenty years ago spiritual had a distinct meaning. But now there's a lot of jack-off thinkers who just love to talk about the spiritual. And there is a lot of bogus - is bogosity a word? It should be - a lot of bogosity in these spiritual seekers. So you have to find another way to express it. I just call it 'how I fit'.” WayShouldYearsUseSpiritualCultureAtheismFitYears AgoTwentiesPositive AtheismThinkerAnother WaySeekers Author:George Carlin
“If you want something new in your life, you have to make space for it. I mean that psychologically as well as physically. Take a look at your closet. If you have the kind of closet where you can't fit another thing in there, that might be the reason you don't have more new clothes. If you want a new man in your life, you've got to let go of the one who stopped dating you five years ago. In other words, you need to complete the past in order for the present to show up more fully.” IfsMenWantNeedsYearsWellsLooksKindMeanReasonShowsMightPastOrderSpaceFiveFitLetting GoClothesYears AgoDatingFive YearsSomething NewClosetsWant SomethingNew ClothesPast Relationship Author:Jack Canfield

“This is many, many years ago. It was shortly after "Starman" I think. I don't know how close I was to getting the part. I met with [director] Penny Marshall and that's one that I knew would be a hit. It just felt hit-ish. But it's like you go to a store and you see a jacket and you go "I love that jacket" and you try it on and it's too big or too small for you and it's the only one they have. For some reason that part just didn't fit me.” ThinkingKnowsTryingYearsReasonBigsWould BeFeltKnow HowLike YouFitMetsDirectorsYears AgoStoresJacketsPennies Author:Jeff Bridges

“She is nine, beloved, as open-faced as the sky and as self-contained. I have watched her grow. As recently as three or four years ago, she had a young child's perfectly shallow receptiveness; she fitted into the world of time, it fitted into her, as thoughtlessly as sky fits its edges, or a river its banks. But as she has grown, her smile has widened with a touch of fear and her glance has taken on depth. Now she is aware of some of the losses you incur by being here--the extortionary rent you have to pay as long as you stay.” WorldYearsChildrenLongSelfYoungThreeGrowsLossPayTakenFourSkyFitYears AgoRiversDepthEdgesNineBelovedFour YearsShallowGlancesYoung ChildrenHer SmileSelf Contained Book:Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters Source: Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters
