Ray Bradbury: Many people hear voices


Ray Bradbury: Many people hear voices

“Many people hear voices when no one is there.

“Some of them are called ‘mad’ and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day.

Others are called ‘writers” and they do pretty much the same thing. Attributed to Ray Bradbury.

"When you plant lettuce" THICH NHAT HANH


"When you plant lettuce" THICH NHAT HANH

“When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow, you don't blame the lettuce.  You look for reasons it is not doing well.  It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family, we blame the other person.  But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce.  Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and arguments.  That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.”             THICH NHAT HANH

Success is the art of failing forward

Success is the art of failing forward

“Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm,” Winston S. Churchill. Or perhaps a different perspective is offered by Thomas A. Edison, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”

I have always thought that success is the art of failing forward. I am not sure if that is really original, but that is how I have always understood success since I was quite young and starting-out. I never let not know what I was doing to stop me and I kept failing forward… To this very day.

Kevin E. Dayhoff… April 6, 2015

30 Powerful Quotes on Failure by Ekaterinea Walter, 12/30/2013 at Forbes - http://www.forbes.com/sites/ekaterinawalter/2013/12/30/30-powerful-quotes-on-failure/

It seems that failure tends to be more public than success. Or at least that’s what we perceive it to be. We fret it, we try to avoid it, and we question ourselves every time we have unconventional ideas. But the simple truth is – no great success was ever achieved without failure. It may be one epic failure. Or a series of failures – such as Edison’s 10,000 attempts to create a light bulb or Dyson’s 5,126 attempts to invent a bagless vacuum cleaner. But, whether we like it or not, failure is a necessary stepping stone to achieving our dreams.

Several months ago I gave a short, TED-style talk on the topic. And today I wanted to share this collection of 30 quotes that will hopefully inspire you to look at failure differently.

1. “Failure isn’t fatal, but failure to change might be” – John Wooden

2. “Everything you want is on the other side of fear.”  - Jack Canfield

QuoteInvestigator.com looks into: Be Kind Everyone You Meet is Fighting a Hard Battle

The Quote Investigator looks into: Be Kind Everyone You Meet is Fighting a Hard Battle

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010


Be Kind; Everyone You Meet is Fighting a Hard Battle

Plato? Philo of Alexandria? Ian MacLaren? John Watson?

 This blog post is based on a question that was posed at the wonderful blog used by the quotation expert Fred Shapiro who is the editor of one of the best reference works in this area: The Yale Book of Quotations. Fred Shapiro’s posts appear on the Freakonomics blog.

Question: This question is from Glossolalia Black.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

It is attributed to Plato on this little thing I have up in my office, but I was told by a friend that it wasn’t him.

Fred Shapiro replied “this sounds anachronistic for Plato by almost 2500 years” and then invited readers to attempt to trace the quotation.

Quote Investigator: The websites ThinkExist, Quotations Page, and Brainy Quote do have this quotation listed under the august name of Plato.

Philo of Alexandria is another popular choice when assigning attribution, e.g., QuotationsBook credits Philo. Sometimes Anonymous gets the nod. QI was able to trace the saying back more than one-hundred years to its likely origin. The original aphorism did not use the word “kind”. Instead, another surprising word was used.

A new generation discovers Ayn Rand

Click here for a larger image: http://twitpic.com/kp463

And it could not happen a moment too late…

I’m researching a column with the above working title… "A new generation discovers Ayn Rand" Meanwhile…

“Is Rand Relevant?” By YARON BROOK WSJ MARCH 14, 2009 http://tinyurl.com/d7prj3

“Ayn Rand died more than a quarter of a century ago, yet her name appears regularly in discussions of our current economic turmoil. Pundits including Rush Limbaugh and Rick Santelli urge listeners to read her books, and her magnum opus, "Atlas Shrugged," is selling at a faster rate today than at any time during its 51-year history.

“There's a reason. In "Atlas," Rand tells the story of the U.S. economy crumbling under the weight of crushing government interventions and regulations. Meanwhile, blaming greed and the free market, Washington responds with more controls that only deepen the crisis. Sound familiar?”

More: “Is Rand Relevant?” By
YARON BROOK WSJ MARCH 14, 2009 http://tinyurl.com/d7prj3 Dr. Brook is president and executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute. http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB123698976776126461-lMyQjAxMDI5MzE2ODkxODg5Wj.html 20090314 Atlas Shrugged Is Rand Relevant By Yaron Brook WSJ

The Fountainhead top ten quotes

1. “Never ask people about your work.” (p. 33)

This is the advice Roark gives Keating when asked whether Keating should accept a scholarship to the prominent Ecole des Beaux Arts or a job at the New York's most prestigious architectural firm.

2. "You're too good for what you want to do with yourself” (p. 62)

Henry Cameron tells Roark that he will suffer greatly because in spite of designing the most beautiful buildings, they will remain on paper and never be erected while he will watch mediocre others reap high commissions and glory because they are willing to copy the past.

3. “If I found a job, a project an idea or a person that I wanted-I'd have to depend on the whole world. Everything has strings leading to everything else. We're all so tied together. We're all in a net, the net is waiting and we're all pushed into it by one single desire.” (p. 143)

Dominique explains her fears of desiring anything or anyone to the editor of the Banner after she turns down a promotion which would advance her career. The independently wealthy Dominique doesn't desire a career.

4. “It was not necessary to wonder about the reasons. It was necessary only to hate, to hate blindly, to hate patiently, to hate without anger, only to hate and let nothing intervene, and not let oneself forget, ever” (p. 194)

Keating realizes the depth of his hatred for Howard Roark after Roark returns the check he wrote to keep him quiet about the Cosmo-Slotnick Building. Roark entreats Keating not to fear because he would be ashamed to have his name associated with such a mediocrity.

5. “There is not a person in New York City who should be allowed to live in this building.” (p. 287)

After Roger Enright escorts Dominique to the Enright House, she writes in her column that no one should be allowed to inhabit the building. However, this is a veiled comment. Dominique really considers it so perfect that it should not be corrupted by people who will harm it and not appreciate its grandeur.

6. “We're alone. Why don't you tell me what you think of me” (p. 389)

After four architects redesign the Stoddard Temple into a home for “Subnormal Children,” Roark finally goes to see his redesigned temple where he meets Toohey who has been waiting for him. Toohey asks him to tell him what he thinks of him but Roark just looks quizzically at him. He hasn't been thinking of Toohey at all while Toohey has proudly believed he has destroyed Roark's peace of mind. He slithers away, dejected.

7. “I'm a parasite. I've been a parasite all my life.” (p.575)

Keating honestly tells Roark about how he perceives himself and begs him to design the Cortlandt Homes project for him and to put the name Keating on it. Roark tells him he will design the project as long as Keating agrees that absolutely no changes will made. Keating's statement demonstrates deep introspection but not enough for him to change his basic personality. He is doomed.

8. “One can't put on an act like that-unless it's an act for oneself, and then there is no limit, no way out, no reality.” (p. 600)

Keating has made progress as an individual. He sees the full effect of Toohey's evil nature and mind control in the older Katie who has come to be enslaved by Toohey's philosophy of altruism and communalism.

9. “It's I who have destroyed you, by helping you.” (p. 611)

Peter Keating explains to Howard Roark that things got away from him and two other architects ruined the Cortlandt building by making disfiguring additions. He takes responsibility but Roark says it was not Keating who destroyed Roark but Roark who destroyed Keating when he helped him by anonymously designing buildings under Keating's name for the satisfaction of seeing them constructed.

10. “We don't want any great men? I shall rule.” (p. 635)

In his lengthy monologue in Keating's apartment, Toohey finally confesses his intentions. He wants power and in this effort attempts to make people into selfless beings, who in addition to altruism and excessive guilt forget how to be happy themselves. Since great people don't buy into this philosophy and thus obstruct his path to complete power and domination, he wishes to eliminate them.

David Grand’s column for Jan 15, 2009: I tend to quote others only to better express myself

David Grand’s column for Jan 15, 2009: I tend to quote others only to better express myself

As much as I appreciate David Grand’s quotations, I actually read his columns.

I read all the Eagle columnists. I may be biased, but we have the best columnists…

To sit and have a cup of coffee and read a David Grand column is a wonderful way to start my day.

But this column – full of quotations - is priceless. Thanks.

I tend to quote others only to better express myself

The Passing Parade By David Grand, Posted on
www.explorecarroll.com 1/14/09

I'm fully aware that many of my readers skip over what I've written in my columns and only take time to read the quotations at the end.

That's fine. I get paid the same regardless.

So to show my appreciation to those who at least read those quotations, I've decided to forego writing on a specific topic this week and share some of my favorites, drawn from the columns I've written over the last 16 years. I'd like to think you'll find them as humorous or thought provoking as I did.

Here are my top 21 gems in no particular order:

* "All modern men are descended from a worm-like creature, but it shows more on some people." – Will Cuppy

* "The more I see of the representatives of the people, the more I admire my dogs." – Anonymous

* "When money talks, the truth is silent." – Russian proverb

* "There are three kinds of men: the ones who learn by reading; those who learn by observation; and the rest of 'em who have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves." – Will Rogers

Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken

Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken

October 23, 2008
I’m not sure when Orson Scott Card said this; however the following quote ought to be an everyday mantra for anyone in the public spotlight.

It is certainly a thought that many in the blogosphere ought to take to heart…

It reminds me of the great admonition that I often repeated to myself when I was an elected official – although critics will suggest that I, all too often did not follow my own advice enough: “Never miss an opportunity to sit down and shut up.”
