More From Joyce Carol Oates

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

What we're thinking about is a peaceful planet. we're not thinking about anything else. we're not thinking about any kind of power. we're not thinking about any kind of struggles. we're not thinking about revolution or war or any of that. that's not what we want. nobody wants to get hurt. nobody wants to hurt anybody. we would all like to be able to live an uncluttered life. a simple life, a good life. and think about moving the whole human race ahead a step, or a few steps.

Reading with an eye towards metaphor allows us to become the person we’re reading about, while reading about them. that’s why there is symbols in books and why your english teacher deserves your attention. ultimately, it doesn’t matter if the author intended the symbol to be there because the job of reading is not to understand the author’s intent. the job of reading is to use stories as a way into seeing other people as a we ourselves.

I suppose i could read more fiction, but i haven't moved in that direction. i'd like more time even though i spend six hours a day reading. people say their eyes get tired, but i've never experienced that. in college i used to read 10 hours a day. my wife says i'm obsessive compulsive. she might have a point because when i was an undergrad student we had the required reading list and the suggested reading list. i always read all the suggested reading too.
Reading Tired Eye
Reading usually precedes writing. and the impulse to write is almost always fired by reading. reading, the love of reading, is what makes you dream of becoming a writer.

So what is the difference between "power thinking" and "positive" thinking? the distinction is slight but profound. to me, people use positive thinking to pretend that everything is rosy, when they really believe that it's not. with power thinking, we understand that everything is neutral, that nothing has meaning except for the meaning we give it, and that we are going to make up a story and give something it's meaning.

Above all things, never be afraid. the enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.
Inspirational Enemy Retreat
God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing pain. remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. don't try to end it. be your note.

If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.
