I'm an untrained musician. Untrained musicians don't really have any music theory, they don't have a lot of rules. We break the rules, but it's mostly because we don't know what the rules are. It's easy for us to go to certain places, so I'm not surprised that a lot of people were amused by my songwriting style. ~Frank Black

In many ways, theatre is more rewarding for a writer. I used to think it was like painting a wall - that when the play is finished, it's done; but now I realise it's more like gardening; you plant the thing, then you have to constantly tend it. You're part of a thing that's living. ~Lee Hall

God does not change; and neither does His love. He loved you before you were born. He loves you now; and He will love you forever. ~Billy Graham

In running, it doesn't matter how fast or slow you are relative to anyone else. You set your own pace and you measure your own progress. You can't lose this race because you're not running against anyone else. You're only running against yourself, and as long as you are running, you are winning. ~Amby Burfoot

Language in art remains a highly ambiguous transaction, a quicksand, a trampoline, a frozen pool which might give way under you; at any time. ~Harold Pinter
#quotes #harold-pinter #art #language

Not only had my brother disappeared, but, and bear with me here, a part of my very being had gone with him. Stories about us could, from them on, be told from only one perspective. Memories could be told but not shared. ~John Corey Whaley

On mobile, what are the core apps? It's basically messaging, mapping and review data. ~Jeremy Stoppelman

Authors are far closer to the truths enfolded in mystery than ordinary people, because of that very audacity of imagination which irritates their plodding critics. As only those who dare to make mistakes succeed greatly, only those who shake free the wings of their imagination brush, once in a way, the secrets of the great pale world. If such writers go wrong, it is not for the mere brains to tell them so ~Gertrude Atherton

The nature of the South is changing faster than the stereotypes are. Much of the South now looks like San Jose. Is it still southern? ~John Shelton Reed

Bad is never good until worse happens. ~Danish Proverb
#proverbs #danish-proverbs #adversity #hardship

I think to an extent every human being needs to be redeemed somewhat or at least needs to look at themselves and say, "I've made mistakes, I'm off course, I need to change." Which is probably the hardest thing for a human being to do, and maybe that's why it interests me so. ~Joss Whedon
#quotes #joss-whedon #thinking #mistakes #change

But I think we need to remember that democracy everywhere is by its nature incomplete, a work in progress. ~Daisaku Ikeda

If, in our world, there is any chance of becoming the person you haven't yet become... will I know how to seize that chance, turn my life into a garden that will be completely different from my forebears'? ~Muriel Barbery

Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts. ~Soren Kierkegaard
