Working 14 hours a day until you're 55 and missing your kids growing up is not what I would consider a recipe for happiness. ~Robert Harris

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

The unexpected stalks a farm in big boots like a vagrant bent on havoc. Not every farmer is an inventor, but the good ones have the seeds of invention within them. Economy and efficiency move their relentless tinkering and yet the real motive often seems to be aesthetic. The mind that first designed a cutter bar is not far different from a mind that can take the intractable steel of an outsized sickle blade and make it hum in the end. The question is how to reduce the simplicity that constitutes a problem to the greater simplicity that constitutes a solution. ~Verlyn Klinkenborg

A good companion shortens the longest road. ~Kurdish Proverb

There is never any end. There are always new sounds to imagine; new feelings to get at. And always, there is the need to keep purifying these feelings and sounds so that we can really see what we have discovered in its pure state. ~John Coltrane

I have my own voice and can focus only on that. I know what I like; I find my inspirations in so many other places than just online and bring that into my work. ~Hanneli Mustaparta

Some may claim that is it unscientific to speak of the operations of nature as miracles. But the point of the title lies in the paradox of finding so many wonderful things subservient to the rule of law. ~Elisha Gray

It is the end of art to inoculate men with the love of nature. ~Henry Ward Beecher

A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it is better than no inspiration at all. ~Rita Mae Brown

You are playing worse and worse every day and right now you are playing like it's next month. ~Herb Brooks

Man, that did his ego good. Matter of fact, she hit him with anything like that again, he was going to feel like he could bench-press a city bus. With a jet plane on its roof. ~J.R. Ward

After I won the Oscar, my salary doubled, my friends tripled, my children became more popular at school, my butcher made a pass at me, and my maid hit me up for a raise. ~Shirley Jones

One's only rival is one's own potentialities. One's only failure is failing to live up to one's own possibilities. In this sense, every man can be a king, and must therefore be treated like a king. ~Abraham Maslow
#quotes #abraham-maslow #king #future

We are supernaturalists first, not naturalists. The only reason we feel compelled to accommodate science is that science says we ought to. But it is science that should accommodate revelation. Revelation has been around much longer. ~Matt Chandler

People ask me to smile for the camera, but somehow it always comes out gloomy. ~Stephen Rea

If every fool wore a crown, we should all be kings. ~Welsh Proverb
#proverbs #welsh-proverbs #king #stupidity

I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans... have lost touch with. It's a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life. ~Alan Ball

The starting point of my career in money management in 1973-74 was the time of the only true bear market any living non-Japanese investor has seen in major markets. Equities, real estate, you name it, everyone got run over. ~Paul Singer
