food longer obsessed obsession price sad sort
There's never been a culture that wasn't obsessed with food. The sort of sad thing is that our obsession is no longer with food, but with the price of food.
long failing
For how long could we fail until we surrendered?
hero long effort
We are not long-term beings. Not heroes of romances in many volumes. For one gesture, for one word alone, we shall make the effort. We openly admit: our creations will be temporary. We shall have this as our aim: a gesture.
long path crosses
It is my great hope that our paths, however long and winding, will cross again.
long hourglass known
It took me as long as I had known him to get rid of all of his words. Like turning an hourglass over.
doctors long waste
For a long time, I thought I would like to be a doctor. Such a good profession. So explicitly good. Never a waste of time.
thinking long alive
As long as I am thinking, I am alive.
men long trying
... the man took my passport and asked me the purpose of my visit, I wrote in my daybook, 'To mourn,' and then, 'To try to live,' he gave me a look and asked if I would consider that business or pleasure, I wrote, 'Neither.' 'For how long do you plan to mourn and try to live?' I wrote, 'For the rest of my life.
thinking long choices
These little daily choices that we're so used to thinking are irrelevant are the most important thing we do all day long.
long-distance-relationship ocean white
I imagine a line, a white line, painted on the sand and on the ocean, from me to you.
eye long bird
Needless to say, jamming deformed, drugged, overstressed birds together in a filthy, waste-coated room is not very healthy. Beyond deformities, eye damage, blindness, bacterial infections of bones, slipped vertebrae, paralysis, internal bleeding, anemia, slipped tendons, twisted lower legs and necks, respiratory diseases, and weakened immune systems are frequent and long-standing problems on factory farms.
writing long intuition
One of the things that I love about writing novels is that it really doesn't matter what next step you take as long as you're pursuing some intuition or instinct. Of course, then, intuitions or instincts don't make for great novels, but they often make for good first drafts.
art
There's no being wrong in seeing something in art, only being disagreed with.
selective time
That's the nice thing about being a vegetarian. You don't have to be neurotic. Selective omnivores have to be neurotic. Personally, I don't have time for all that; I don't want to get into it.
