Text Quotes
I don’t teach writing. I teach patience. Toughness. Stubbornness. The willingness to fail. I teach the life. The odd thing is most of the things that stop an inexperienced writer are so far from the truth as to be nearly beside the point. When you feel glosbal doubt about your talent, that is your talent. People who have no talent don’t have any doubt (The Thing Quotes)
One of the things I appreciate more was how important struggle was as the instrument that helped to keep us knit together (The Thing Quotes)
I have to keep facing the darkness. If I stand tall and face the thing I fear, I have a chance to conquer it. If I just keep dodging and hiding it will conquer me (The Thing Quotes)
Children are notoriously curious about everything, everything except... the things people want them to know. It then remains for us to refrain from forcing any kind of knowledge upon them, and they will be curious about everything (The Thing Quotes)
Buddhism advises you not to implant feelings that you don’t really have or avoid feelings that you do have. If you are miserable you are miserable; that is the reality, that is what is happening, so confront that. Look it square in the eye without flinching. When you are having a bad time, examine that experience, observe it mindfully, study the phenomenon and learn its mechanics. The way out of a trap is to study the trap itself, learn how it is built. You do this by taking the thing apart piece by piece. The trap can’t trap you if it has been taken to pieces. The result is freedom (The Thing Quotes)
Consistency is something you can always improve on. You can be more consistent with your mental approach, the things you do physically on the mound. Instead of doing 5 good pitches an inning, try to make six. You can always do more of what you are doing well and try to be as consistent as you can be (The Thing Quotes)
As words are not the things we speak about, and structure is the only link between them, structure becomes the only content of knowledge. If we gamble on verbal structures that have no observable empirical structures, such gambling can never give us any structural information about the world. Therefore such verbal structures are structurally obsolete, and if we believe in them, they induce delusions or other semantic disturbances (The Thing Quotes)
A man’s greatest work is to break his enemies, to drive them before him, to take from them all the things that have been theirs, to hear the weeping of those who cherished them, to take their horses between his knees and to press in his arms the most desirable of their women (The Thing Quotes)
The greatest personal limitation is to be found not in the things you want to do and can’t, but in the things you’ve never considered doing (The Thing Quotes)
The very act of writing assumes, to begin with, that someone cares to hear what you have to say. It assumes that people share, that people can be reached, that people can be touched and even in some cases changed. So many of the things in our world lead us to despair. It seems to me that the final symptom of despair is silence, and that storytelling is one of the sustaining arts; it’s one of the affirming arts. A writer may have a certain pessimism in his outlook, but the very act of being a writer seems to me to be an optimistic act (The Thing Quotes)
It is not fear that stops you from doing the brave and true thing in your daily life. Rather, the problem is avoidance. You want to feel comfortable so you avoid doing or saying the thing that will evoke fear and other difficult emotions. Avoidance will make you feel less vulnerable in the short run but, it will never make you less afraid (The Thing Quotes)
No regrets. Never never any regrets. Everything has been an experience and has led to me now. Everything has been important and essential. Fear... I’m afraid of what people, including myself, are capable of, but it also excites me. I’m afraid of the atrocities that we are capable of and the things that can happen if everyone makes decisions based on fear (The Thing Quotes)
The thing I want to do is put as many new ideas into the law as I can, to show how particular solutions involve general theory, and to do it with style. I should like to be admitted to be the greatest jurist in the world (The Thing Quotes)
Ive learned from dieting and not dieting that literally the thing that works best for me is that if I think of it, I better go ahead and have it (The Thing Quotes)
The whole point of animation to me is to tell a story, make a joke, express an idea. The technique itself doesn’t really matter. Whatever works is the thing to use (The Thing Quotes)
The world is not yet finished, but everyone is behaving as if everything was known. This is not true. In fact, the computer world as we know it is based upon one tradition that has been waddling along for the last fifty years, growing in size and ungainliness, and is essentially defining the way we do everything. My view is that today’s computer world is based on techie misunderstandings of human thought and human life. And the imposition of inappropriate structures throughout the computer is the imposition of inappropriate structures on the things we want to do in the human world (The Thing Quotes)
I try to explain to people that the only way to be cool is to be who you truly are, and the only way to live life is to do the things that you want to do and be the person that you want to be no matter who that is or what that is or how you have to do it. That’s the only way you can be genuinely happy (The Thing Quotes)
One of the things I benefited from when I started this business was that I didn’t know anything. I was just instinct with no preconceived notions. This enabled me to learn and change quickly without having to worry about maintaining any kind of status quo, like some of my bigger competitors (The Thing Quotes)
When I look at a painting it isn’t only the painting I see but the thing that I am. If there is more in the painting that I am, then I won’t see it (The Thing Quotes)
The thing women must do to rise to power is to redefine their femininity. Once, power was considered a masculine attribute. In fact power has no sex (The Thing Quotes)
Whatever else it might be, the divine is certainly the thing that imposes with maximum intensity the sensation of being alive (The Thing Quotes)
Here’s the thing about rights. They’re not actually supposed to be voted on. That’s why they’re called rights (The Thing Quotes)
The things you’re crying about today, you might be laughing about in ten years... and then again... maybe not (The Thing Quotes)
The thing is, when everyone is trying to persuade you that a thing you know to be true isn’t actually true, you start to believe them: not because it is true but because it’s easier. It’s just the easy way out (The Thing Quotes)
One of the ways they run forward is by viewing the thing they’re doing as something that’s going to be the whole world (The Thing Quotes)
When you regret something, what you aren’t seeing is that someday, later, or maybe sooner, you’re going to see why you didn’t get the thing you wanted. So often, something better is just around the corner (The Thing Quotes)
Lights come and go in the night sky. Men, troubled at last by the things they build, may toss in their sleep and dream bad dreams, or lie awake while the meteors whisper greenly overhead. But nowhere in all space or on a thousand worlds will there be men to share our loneliness (The Thing Quotes)
I have a vision for living. It’s about elements of style. It’s about all the things that I love, that I believe in (The Thing Quotes)
Everyone wants to put people on, I think. And get away with it! That’s the thing: put people on and get away with it! That’s a science in itself (The Thing Quotes)
To feel successful, you must be able to be honest about the things that are really important to you (The Thing Quotes)
