You cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you.
Never deprive someone of hope it might be all they have.
I will end up with someone in the arts. I am positive. I eat breathe and sleep acting. And I'll end up with someone who is happy staying at home and having me cook supper. But I also really need to be intellectually challenged and stimulated. I want someone bookish and someone who is passionate.
David Lee Roth had the idea that if you covered a successful song you were half way home. C'mon - Van Halen doing 'Dancing in the Streets'? It was stupid. I started feeling like I would rather bomb playing my own songs than be successful playing someone else's music.
A good wife is someone who thinks she has done everything right: raising the kids being there for the husband being home trying to do it all.
Managing is getting paid for home runs that someone else hits.
Most people if you live in a big city you see some form of schizophrenia every day and it's always in the form of someone homeless. 'Look at that guy - he's crazy. He looks dangerous.' Well he's on the streets because of mental illness. He probably had a job and a home.
The way to work with a bully is to take the ball and go home. First time every time. When there's no ball there's no game. Bullies hate that. So they'll either behave so they can play with you or they'll go bully someone else.
As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time that doesn't work for me. I'd just rather sit at home and read or go out to dinner with someone or talk to someone I love or talk to somebody that makes me laugh.
One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.
Sending Paris Hilton to jail for being the most loathed celeprosy lesion in the history of the species seems like a happening idea at first - forty-five days at Century Regional Detention Center is so the new thirty days at Promises Malibu! But it sets a dangerous precedent to jail celebs just because someone hates them.
I am intrigued by inanimate objects. They're a piece of history someone's statement and ideas of life.
All in all for someone who was immersed in fascinated by and dedicated to flight I was disappointed by the wrinkle in history that had brought me along one generation late. I had missed all the great times and adventures in flight.
Storytelling in general is a communal act. Throughout human history people would gather around whether by the fire or at a tavern and tell stories. One person would chime in then another maybe someone would repeat a story they heard already but with a different spin. It's a collective process.
The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down.
If it's really so wonderful that both partners have to work to make a living to pay for their house for health insurance someone is obviously going to get the short end of the stick.
There's definitely evidence that capitalism at its most ruthless rewards psychopathic behavior. When you look at the worst corners of the American health insurance industry or the sub-prime banking market it really feels like the more psychopathically someone behaves the more it's rewarded.
