shoes firsts adults
Shoes are the first adult machines we are given to master.
book reading ipods
I prefer reading e-books on a high resolution LCD screen - like the iPod Touch's - although the pixel density could and should be much higher.
mistake thinking credit
But spending your life concentrating on death is like watching a whole movie and thinking only about the credits that are going to roll at the end. It’s a mistake of emphasis.
worry rooms peculiar
Haven't you felt a peculiar sort of worry about the chair in your living room that no one sits in?
book persistence quality
Printed books usually outlive bookstores and the publishers who brought them out. They sit around, demanding nothing, for decades. That's one of their nicest qualities - their brute persistence.
way sides action
History isn't a seesaw. If you have a really bad regime on one side, the actions on the other side don't automatically become good. It doesn't work that way.
running grief night
I would like to visit the factory that makes train horns, and ask them how they are able to arrive at that chord of eternal mournfulness. Is it deliberately sad? Are the horns saying, Be careful, stay away from this train or it will run you over and then people will grieve, and their grief will be as the inconsolable wail of this horn through the night? The out-of-tuneness of the triad is part of its beauty.
book matter needs
Books: a beautifully browsable invention that needs no electricity and exists in a readable form no matter what happens.
healing thinking world
I woke up thinking a very pleasant thought. There is lots left in the world to read.
discovery luxury people
Onstage, of course, you have the luxury of rehearsal and discovery and time and comfort, which then turns into terror when you actually have to put it in front of people.
mom kids trying
I'm an actress and I want to act, and I'm a mom and I want to be with my kids, and it's trying to find a way to do both.
growing-up children acting
If I wasn't acting, I would probably be working with children. I was a camp counselor growing up and I loved it.
selfish suffering add
God creates us free, free to be selfish, but He adds a mechanism that will penetrate our selfishness and wake us up to the presence of others in this world, and that mechanism is called suffering.
selfish here-i-am people
Here I am going to say something which may come as a bit of a shock. God doesn't necessarily want us to be happy. He wants us to be lovable. Worthy of love. Able to be loved by Him. We don't start off being all that lovable, if we're honest. What makes people hard to love? Isn't it what is commonly called selfishness? Selfish people are hard to love because so little love comes out of them.
