Once I began doing stand-up, I didn't get a kick out of the applause or being the centre of attention; but I did get a kick out of the jigsaw puzzle aspect of it, searching for the right bit, adding another few pieces each night until the bigger picture appears. That's the appeal: the challenge of it. ~Stephen Merchant

I think that's what makes a good rapper. Somebody who wants to push themselves and their audience further. ~Donald Glover
#quotes #donald-glover #music
Was awakened in the night to a strain of music dying away, passing travellers singing. My being was so expanded and infinitely and divinely related for a brief season that I saw how unexhausted, how almost wholly unimproved, was man's capacity for a divine life. When I remembered what a narrow and finite life I should anon awake to! ~Henry David Thoreau
#quotes #henry-david-thoreau #night #music
It's quite nice to have a place to leave things. You can be a permanent gypsy, but it's nice to go home. ~Daphne Guinness
#quotes #daphne-guinness #home
Yes, God wants you to do signs and wonders. But the love of God manifested through you is what people really need. So you first must see His face. You must become so close to His very heartbeat that you can feel what others feel. ~Heidi Baker

A man should choose a friend who is better than himself. There are plenty of acquaintances in the world, but very few real friends. ~Chinese Proverb

I am "too fiery," yet I wish to be seen as I am and I would lose all rather than soften away anything. ~Margaret Fuller
#quotes #margaret-fuller #heart #wish
Just because I've stopped working doesn't mean that I've stopped being helpful. ~Walter Huston
#quotes #walter-huston #work #helping
I must go on living. And, though it may be childish of me, I can't go on in simple compliance. From now on I must struggle with the world. I thought that Mother might well be the last of those who can end their lives beautifully and sadly, struggling with no one, neither hating nor betraying anyone. In the world to come there will be no room for such people. The dying are beautiful, but to live, to survive; those things somehow seem hideous and contaminated with blood. ~Osamu Dazai
