jobs hate needs
Generations have been working in jobs they hate, just so they can buy what they don't really need.
intelligent next needs
Minimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent, sophisticated audiences in history. We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.
needs stories our-lives
Pretty much always. We need to tell the story of our life to someone.
inspiration disease needs
Inspiration needs disease, injury, madness.
opposites needs rebel
I need to rebel against myself. It's the opposite of following your bliss. I need to do what I most fear.
hero want needs
I just want one person I can rescue and I want one person who needs me. Who can't live without me. I want to be a hero, but not just one time.
people silence needs
We come from a generation of people who need their TV or stereo playing all the time. These people so scared of silence. These soundaholics, these quietophobics.
needs choke pathetic
It's pathetic how we can't live with the things we can't understand. How we need everything labeled and explained and deconstructed.
sleep people needs
That if you could acquire enough, accomplish enough, you’d never want to own or do another thing. That if you could eat or sleep enough, you’d never need more. That if enough people loved you, you’d stop needing love.
smart stupid needs
You become smart when you don't need to quote someone anymore." I am still stupid: I quoted Chuck Palahiniuk
exist germs god people
Arguing that God doesn't exist would be like people in the 10th century arguing that germs and microbes didn't exist because they couldn't see them.
apostle escape follow hard running
Every apostle or disciple, as much as they're running to follow their savior- they're running just as hard to escape something else.
people stuff wild
People say I make up wild stories. But all I have to do is write down stuff that really happens.
characters third
The third person allows characters to really attack themselves. We all do this - attack ourselves - every hour of our lives.
