Text Quotes
If you feel like you want to die, it’s time to sit down and make a list of all the things you haven’t done yet  (The Thing Quotes) There would be no chance at all of getting to know death if it happened only once. But fortunately, life is nothing but a continuing dance of birth and death, a dance of change. Every time I hear the rush of a mountain stream, or the waves crashing on the shore, or my own heartbeat, I hear the sound of impermanence. These changes, these small deaths, are our living links with death. They are death’s pulses, death’s heartbeat, prompting us to let go of all the things we cling to  (The Thing Quotes) The thing I absolutely love about food is it’s a common thread that connects us no matter what culture we come from  (The Thing Quotes) I have been lucky in that I’ve been alive at times when the things that I wanted to do were capable of being done  (The Thing Quotes) Write what haunts you. What keeps you up at night. What you are unable to get out of your mind. Sometimes they are the hardest things to write, but those are often the things that are worth investigating by you specifically  (The Thing Quotes) Here’s the thing, back in the day, a lot of guys would make fun of me, that I would sing and dance, that I was a cheerleader. But I kept my head on straight. I had goals  (The Thing Quotes) In a narrow market, when prices are not getting anywhere to speak of but move within a narrow range, there is no sense in trying to anticipate what the next big movement is going to be. The thing to do is to watch the market, read the tape to determine the limits of the get nowhere prices, and make up your mind that you will not take an interest until the prices breaks through the limit in either direction  (The Thing Quotes) You’ve got to stop doing all the things that people have tried, tested, and found out don’t work  (The Thing Quotes) In fiction there can be no appeal to any authority outside the book itself... the thing has to look true, and that is all. It is not made to look true by simple statement  (The Thing Quotes) I wanted to show the thing that had to be corrected: I wanted to show the things that had to be appreciated  (The Thing Quotes) The camera should be used for a recording of life, for rendering the very substance and quintessence of the thing itself, whether it be polished steel or palpitating flesh  (The Thing Quotes) The basic material of photographs is not intrinsically beautiful. It’s not like ivory or tapestry or bronze or oil on canvas. You’re not supposed to look at the thing, you’re supposed to look through it. It’s a window  (The Thing Quotes) There is so much more to the things that we think we know from afar. The close you get the more complex it is, not the simpler it is to understand  (The Thing Quotes) A thing is not what you say it is or what you photograph it to be or what you paint it to be or what you sculpt it to be. Words, photographs, paintings, and sculptures are symbols of what you see, think, and feel things to be, but they are not the things themselves  (The Thing Quotes) As I became aware that all things have unique spatial and temporal qualities which visually define and relate them, I began to perceive the things I was photographing not as objects but as events. Working to develop my skills of perceiving and symbolizing these event qualities, I discovered the principle of opposites. When, for example, I photographed the smooth, luminous body of a woman behind a dirty cobwebbed window, I found that the qualities of each event were enhanced and the universal forces which they manifested were more powerfully evoked  (The Thing Quotes) The thing that keeps you scrambling over the rocks, risking snakes, and swatting at the flies is the view. It is only your enjoyment of and commitment to what you see, not to what you rationally understand, that balances the otherwise absurd investment of labor  (The Thing Quotes) Success on a cosmic level completely eludes me. I’m deeply suspicious of things being too good. It’s part of my superstition, I think, to generate pain in order to give the illusion of gain. I’m not saying I reject success, but honestly, I don’t quite know how to deal with it. It’s an old feeling: As soon as you have the thing you’ve been going after all your life, that reasonable degree of security, you start kicking against it, doubting it  (The Thing Quotes) I will never say the things that I want to say to you. I know the damage it would do. I love you more than I hate my loneliness and pain  (The Thing Quotes) Grieving allows us to heal, to remember with love rather than pain. It is a sorting process. One by one you let go of the things that are gone and you mourn for them. One by one you take hold of the things that have become a part of who you are and build again  (The Thing Quotes) Recycling is a good thing to do. It makes people feel good to do it. The thing I want to emphasize is the vast difference between recycling for the purpose of feeling good and recycling for the purpose of solving the trash problem  (The Thing Quotes) Look about you. Take hold of the things that are here. Let them talk to you. You learn to talk to them  (The Thing Quotes) I had this talent for these stupid little teenage songs. I just couldn’t get anyone to sing my songs, so I had to sing my own tunes... The thing is to be able to outlast the trends... They are actually manufactured entertainment groups. They are a product of technology. What you are listening to is technology  (The Thing Quotes) A person must try to worry about the things that aren’t important, so that he won’t worry about the things that are  (The Thing Quotes) Wishing you a happy birthday with all those special things, the things which make memories and for all the happiness it brings  (The Thing Quotes) We are always looking for a grand program of action full of great ideas, when the thing is to begin by obeying the little ideas  (The Thing Quotes) Friendship, love, health, energy, enthusiasm, and joy are the things that make life worth living and exploring  (The Thing Quotes) What am I doing with my life? Am I just going to some humdrum job that I don’t really want to be at, doing some minuscule task, getting paid to be a mindless drone? Or am I out there living life, on my terms, the way I want to live it, doing the things that I want to do?  (The Thing Quotes) The weight is just a tool. Do you focus on the hammer or the nail? You better focus on the thing you’re trying to hit  (The Thing Quotes) I am not a complete idiot, but whether from weakness or laziness have no talent for thinking. I know only how to reflect: I am a mirror... Logic does not exist for me. I float on the waves of art and life and never really know how to distinguish what belongs to the one or the other or what is common to both. Life unfolds for me like a theatre presenting a sequence of somewhat unreal sentiments; while the things of art are real to me and go straight to my heart  (The Thing Quotes) The thing to know about my brother was that even though he was fifteen, he looked to be about the same age as me. Only, I’m not sure if that was because he looked older or I looked younger. I like to think it was a healthy mixture of both  (The Thing Quotes)
