We don’t have to believe the story of our lives we’ve been told. You’re not the same person you were when you first had sex and not the same as you’ll be five years down the line. All redefining yourself requires is the bravery to be fearless, and let go of the judgments Picture Quote #1

A substantial proportion of people do what they are told to do, irrespective of the content of the act, and without pangs of conscience, so long as they perceive that the command comes from a legitimate authority Picture Quote #1

I write because the lives of all of us are stories. If enough of those stories are told, then perhaps we will begin to see that our lives are the same story. The differences are merely in the details Picture Quote #1

Most men, if you just tell them what to do in a businesslike fashion, will follow directions without thinking about it. One proceeds on the assumption that they’ll do as they’re told, and they do Picture Quote #1

In a sense who you are has always been a story that you told to yourself. Now your self is a story that you tell to others Picture Quote #1

All lives are tales. Some spread, and grow in the telling. Others are just told between us and the gods, muttered back and forth behind our days, but those tales grow too and shake us just as fierce Picture Quote #1

In an ideal state of society we never lose sight of the womanliness of women…why should it be considered a compliment to any woman to be told she writes, paints, sings, talks, or even thinks, like a man? Picture Quote #1

Many dedicated endurance athletes don’t need to be told what to do – they need to be told what not to do Picture Quote #1

If I hadn’t been told I was garbage, I wouldn’t have learned how to show people I’m talented. And if everyone had always laughed at my jokes, I wouldn’t have figured out how to be so funny. If they hadn’t told me I was ugly, I never would have searched for my beauty. And if they hadn’t tried to break me down, I wouldn’t know that I’m unbreakable Picture Quote #1

I only did my duty, and what I was told to do as well as I could Picture Quote #1

If I told you about a land of love... would you swallow it as a remedy? Picture Quote #1

I’ve been covering the art industry for nine years, and I still don’t feel like I have a clear grasp on what an art consultant does. What’s the difference between a dealer and an art consultant? Who are they? What’s their day to day like? So I asked a few private dealers, consultants and curators to talk about what they do. Everyone told me a different story Picture Quote #1

People love to talk but hate to listen. Listening is not merely not talking, though even that is beyond most of our powers; it means taking a vigorous, human interest in what is being told us. You can listen like a blank wall or like a splendid auditorium where every sound comes back fuller and richer Picture Quote #1

God gave music the power to carry his light into the darkness. That’s a mighty privilege. It means intentionally telling stories and writing songs that bear truth that outlasts the songs themselves. If I did this in hopes of thunderous applause and piles of cash, I would have quit years ago. But there are moments on the stage when I sense something magical, a connection with the band and the audience, when our stories intersect and suddenly we’re wading in an ancient river. Suddenly the song is secondary to the greater story being told through each of us Picture Quote #1

Everything that I have told you is, of course, a fairy tale. Life is magical, after all. Nothing is safe and everything changes Picture Quote #1

Whatever success I’ve achieved has come from pretty much doing the opposite of what I’ve been told or expected to do Picture Quote #1

Believers are never told to become one; we already are one and are expected to act like it Picture Quote #1

Writing is for stories to be read, books to be published, poems to be recited, plays to be acted, songs to be sung, newspapers to be shared, letters to be mailed, jokes to be told, notes to be passed, recipes to be cooked, messages to be exchanged, memos to be circulated, announcements to be posted, bills to be collected, posters to be displayed and diaries to be concealed. Writing is for ideas, action, reflection, and experience. It is not for having your ignorance exposed, your sensitivity destroyed, or your ability assessed Picture Quote #1
