There is a theory that creativity arises when individuals are out of sync with their environment. To put it simply, people who fit in with their communities have insufficient motivation to risk their psyches in creating something truly new, while those who are out of sync are driven by the constant need to prove their worth. ~Gary Taubes

So, we just kind of created our own thing and that is part of the beauty of Athens; is that it is so off the map and there is no way you could ever be the East Village or an L.A. scene or a San Francisco scene, that it just became its own thing. ~Michael Stipe
#quotes #michael-stipe #athens

One sister for sale, one sister for sale, one crying and spying young sister for sale. I'm really not kidding so who'll start the bidding. Do I hear a dollar? A nickle? A penny? Oh isnt there isn't, there isn't there any one person who will buy this sister for sale. This crying spying old young sister for sale. ~Shel Silverstein

I don't think that I could ever be a strict dad. I never grew up with anybody strict in my life. I'm not saying I'm a role model by any means or anything. I think the fact that I wasn't told what not to do all the time - my spirit kind of told me things that I shouldn't. I got to develop on my own. It's part of your common sense. ~Randy Houser
#quotes #randy-houser #parenting

In very big companies, you find less entrepreneurialism than you really want to see. Success is defined as "don't make a mistake." And you get to be the C.E.O. by outlasting everybody else, then you're there for five or six years, and you want to get your bonus on the way out. ~Bernard L. Schwartz
#quotes #bernard-l-schwartz #entrepreneurship #ceo #success

The trauma said. Don't write these poems. Nobody wants to hear you cry about the grief inside your bones. ~Andrea Gibson

Children see things very well sometimes, and idealists even better. ~Lorraine Hansberry
#quotes #lorraine-hansberry #children #idealists

Atrial fibrillation can be taken care of. The point is that it is manageable. Everybody is different and will have different ways of managing whatever they need, and their doctor will have ways of managing theirs. But I think the first key is just to know it exists, know whether you have it, and know what the risks are and take care of yourself! ~Howie Mandel
