certain characters clear difficult doors envelope kept knew open pushed wrote
When Ossie wrote 'Purlie,' he knew it would open doors that were usually kept closed. Sheldon made it clear to those of us who had certain characters that pushed the envelope that we were to take them to the edge. And sometimes it's difficult to get to that place.

afford awareness brief certain death denial ephemeral invariably life lives lucky miracle miss moments notice painful persists planet tend throughout unless wait
Intellectually, we know for certain that we are on this planet for a very brief period, yet we tend to live as if we were going to live forever, as if there were no end to our life or to the lives of our friends and family. This not-so-subtle denial of death persists throughout our lives, unless we are lucky enough to get a dramatic, usually painful and invariably life-changing wake-up call. The moments of our lives are ephemeral gifts, and we can not afford to miss even one of them. Happily, you don't have to wait for a painful wake-up call. You can notice the miracle of your life right now. Awareness is a choice.

For 30 years scientists have suspected that gene regulation has played a central role in human evolution. In addition to lending support to the idea that changes in gene regulation are a key part of our evolutionary history, these new results help to define exactly which regulatory factors may be important, at least in certain tissues. This helps open the door to a functional dissection of the role of gene regulation during the evolution of modern humans.

writing wings bird
The mind travels faster than the pen; consequently, writing becomes a question of learning to make occasional wing shots, bringing down the bird of thought as it flashes by. A writer is a gunner, sometimes waiting in the blind for something to come in, sometimes roaming the countryside hoping to scare something up.
writing murder obscenity
Shocking writing is like murder: the questions the jury must decide are the questions of motive and intent.
media roles news
The most puzzling thing about TV is the steady advance of the sponsor across the line that has always separated news from promotion, entertainment from merchandising. The advertiser has assumed the role of originator, and the performer has gradually been eased into the role of peddler.
