More From Norman Vincent Peale

I say too much of what, he says too much of everything, too much stuff, too many places, too much information, too many people, too much of things for there to be too much of, there is too much to know and i don't know where to begin but i want to try.

You can talk about things indirectly, but if you want to talk how people really talk, you have to talk r-rated. i mean i've got three incredibly intelligent daughters, but when you get mad, you get mad and you talk like people talk. when a normal 17-year-old girl storms out of the house or 15-year-old boy is mad at his mom or dad, they're not talking the way people talk on tv. unless it's cable.

On the contrary, it's because somebody knows something about it that we can't talk about physics . it's the things that nobody knows anything about that we can discuss. we can talk about the weather; we can talk about social problems; we can talk about psychology; we can talk about international finance gold transfers we can't talk about, because those are understood so it's the subject that nobody knows anything about that we can all talk about!

…because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff… nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ which is just not a good insult at all. like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’.

Any object not interesting in itself may become interesting through becoming associated with an object in which an interest already exists. the two associated objects grow, as it were, together; the interesting portion sheds its quality over the whole; and thus things not interesting in their own right borrow an interest which becomes as real and as strong as that of any natively interesting thing.

The basic thing is to be humble, and pretend you're a bartender in the tavern of life. don't get too comfortable and don't really listen to anybody else. don't stand around with a bunch of writers and talk about writing. you know when you see plumbers at a plumbers convention, usually they're not talking about plumbing: they're talking about whatever it is that two men happen to talk about. they're talking about sports, their wives and children. i just tell my students, don't talk about writing too much, just go out and do it. find out whatever you need to get to the mainland.

I grew up not understanding what was true and what was not true. it gave me a sense of unreality. i was told that this man [mom's lover] was not my mother's lover - when he was. i was told he was there as a male babysitter for my brother so that he would learn sports and other manly things.

The silliest and most tendentious of baseball writing tries to wrest profundity from the spectacle of grown men hitting a ball with a stick by suggesting linkages between the sport and deep issues of morality, parenthood, history, lost innocence, gentleness, and so on, seemingly ad infinitum . (the effort reeks of silliness because baseball is profound all by itself and needs no excuses; people who don't know this are not fans and are therefore unreachable anyway.
