Text Quotes
You don’t want everyone to see a piece of content. You want the people who are really excited about the content to see it  (Piece Quotes) The writing process for a short story feels more like field geology, where you keep turning the thing over and over, noting its qualities in detail, hammering at it, putting it near flame, pouring different acids on it, and then finally you figure out what it is, or you just give up and mount it on a ring and have an awkward chunky piece of jewelry that seems weirdly dominating but that you for some reason like. I could be wrong about field geology here  (Piece Quotes) I remember I was a child, and when I grew up I was a poet. It all happened at sixty miles an hour and on days when the clock stopped and all of humanity fit into a little chapel, into a pinecone, a shot of ouzo, a snail’s shell, a piece of soggy rye on the pavement  (Piece Quotes) Every moment of mindfulness means the gradual destruction of latent defilements. It is somewhat like cutting away a piece of wood with a small axe, every stroke helping to get rid of the unwanted fragments of wood  (Piece Quotes) My father passed on one important piece of relationship advice before he died. He said son, in a relationship you can either be right or you can be happy. You’ll soon find out that you don’t care that much about being right  (Piece Quotes) It usually takes me two to three days to practice and videotape a new piece but sometimes up to a week for more difficult ones  (Piece Quotes) The food we eat masks so much cruelty. The fact that we can sit down and eat a piece of chicken without thinking about the horrendous conditions under which chickens are industrially bred in this country is a sign of the dangers of capitalism, how capitalism has colonized our minds. The fact that we look no further than the commodity itself, the fact that we refuse to understand the relationships that underly the commodities that we use on a daily basis. And so food is like that  (Piece Quotes) In fact, the first piece of art I ever sold, I paid someone else to make the next one, so I could actually keep going out drinking  (Piece Quotes) There is not necessarily a good reason why a regulator should have to be involved in product design and marketing for rich and sophisticated investors. We recommend that such investors should be able to sign a piece of paper, which allows them to go ahead and buy unregulated products at their own risk  (Piece Quotes) It is still an unending source of surprise for me how a few scribbles on a blackboard or on a piece of paper can change the course of human affairs  (Piece Quotes) I wanted to make pictures that felt natural, that felt like seeing, that didn’t feel like taking something in the world and making a piece of art out of it  (Piece Quotes) I love the way you can fall in love with a piece of literature; how words alone can get your heart doing that  (Piece Quotes) Being in love means you are completely broken, then put back together. The one piece that was yours is beating in your lover’s breast. She says the same thing about hers  (Piece Quotes) In the ending the king is a powerful piece for assisting his own pawns, or stopping the adverse pawns  (Piece Quotes) Perhaps it is this specter that most haunts working men and women: the planned obsolescence of people that is of a piece with the planned obsolescence of the things they make. Or sell  (Piece Quotes) I must fling myself down and writhe; I must strive with every piece of force I possess; I bruise and batter myself against the floor, the walls; I strain and sob and exhaust myself, and begin again, and exhaust myself again; but do I feel pain? Never. How can I feel pain? There is no place for it  (Piece Quotes) What is truth in photography? It can be told in a hundred different ways. Every thirtieth of a second when the shutter snaps, its capturing a different piece of information  (Piece Quotes) I spend a lot of time doing carpentry. Sometimes there is nothing that gives me the contentment that sawing a piece of wood does  (Piece Quotes) As you get up in the morning, as you make decisions, as you spend money, make friends, make commitments, you are creating a piece of art called your life  (Piece Quotes) Love.. its a missing puzzle piece waiting to be found and when you do find it you can finally figure out the picture life has to show you  (Piece Quotes) Every piece of the puzzle that doesn’t fit gets you closer to the answer  (Piece Quotes) To make a beautiful piece means you have really witnessed it and really made decisions about it  (Piece Quotes) Stories are a kind of thing, too. Stories and objects share something, a patina. I thought I had this clear, two years ago before I started, but I am no longer sure how this works. Perhaps a patina is a process of rubbing back so that the essential is revealed, the way that a striated stone tumbled in a river feels irreducible, the way that this netsuke of a fox has become little more than a memory of a nose and a tail. But it also seems additive, in the way that a piece of oak furniture gains over years and years of polishing, and the way the leaves of my medlar shine  (Piece Quotes) I wanted to wear her as you would a piece of clothing, to fold into her ribs, be a stone in her mouth  (Piece Quotes) I don’t see boundaries between styles, such as modern or contemporary. I’ve collected each piece from a different experience or period of my life  (Piece Quotes) I know I look like a piece of sausage to those lions. A sausage with braids  (Piece Quotes) In the middle of this it was good to have some moments in which whatever was left of you could sit in silence. When you could remember. When the evidence that had gathered could be sorted. And it was a difficulty if another person imagined these moments were their property. Your life got sliced from two sides like a supermarket salami until there was nothing left in the middle. You were the bits that had been given away right and left to others. Because they wanted the piece of you that belonged to them. Because they wanted more. Because they wanted passion. And you did not have it  (Piece Quotes) There is no such thing as a natural born pilot. Whatever my aptitudes or talents, becoming a proficient pilot was hard work, really a lifetime’s learning experience. For the best pilots, flying is an obsession, the one thing in life they must do continually. The best pilots fly more than the others; that’s why they’re the best. Experience is everything. The eagerness to learn how and why every piece of equipment works is everything. And luck is everything, too  (Piece Quotes) The secret of a successful art career is to make more art that folks think they need than pieces they just want. When a piece of art emotionally connects with a person the work becomes a need. You are then on your way to becoming successful  (Piece Quotes) Smart art galleries know it’s not the words on paper but the emotion in the piece that makes clients pull out the credit card or check book. The gallery’s number one concern is will this stuff sell? What your bio, artist’s statement or resume articulates will be of no help if you don’t make art that connects with buyers  (Piece Quotes)
