More From Michael Faraday

Facts are neutral until human beings add their own meaning to those facts. people make their decisions based on what the facts mean to them, not on the facts themselves. the meaning they add to facts depends on their current story … facts are not terribly useful to influencing others. people don’t need new facts—they need a new story.
Mean People Decision
I keep feeling that there isn't one poem being written by any one of us - or a book or anything like that. the whole life of us writers, the whole product i guess i mean, is the one long poem - a community effort if you will. it's all the same poem. it doesn't belong to any one writer - it's god's poem perhaps. or god's people's poem.
Book Mean Long
A successful poem says what a poet wants to say, and more, with particular finality. the remarks he makes about his poems are incidental when the poem is good, or embarrassing or absurd when it is bad and he is not permitted to say how the good poem is good, and may never know how the bad poem is bad. it is better to write about other people's poetry.
Writing Successful People
There is this tendency to think that if you could only find the magic way, then you could become a poet. "tell me how to become a poet. tell me what to do." . . . what makes you a poet is a gift for language, an ability to see into the heart of things, and an ability to deal with important unconscious material. when all these things come together, you're a poet. but there isn't one little gimmick that makes you a poet. there isn't any formula for it.
Heart Thinking Magic
It's a big thing to call yourself a poet. all i can say is that i have always written poems. i don't think i'm interested in any discussion about whether i'm a good poet, a bad poet or a great poet. but i am sure, i want to write great poems. i think every poet should want that.
Writing Thinking Want
Now, what i want is facts. teach these boys and girls nothing but facts. facts alone are wanted in life. plant nothing else, and root out everything else. you can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon facts; nothing else will ever be of any service to them.

I've never met a girl who thinks like you." "a lot of people tell me that," she said, digging at a cuticle. "but it's the only way i know how to think. seriously. i'm just telling you what i believe. it's never crossed my mind that my way of thinking is different from other people's. i'm not trying to be different. but when i speak out honestly, everybody thinks i'm kidding or playacting. when that happens, i feel like everything is such a pain!

An ex-girlfriend once got upset when i told her that music is the most important thing in my life. it's more important than anyone else could ever be. i don't want to be overly dramatic and say it's the only thing that gets me up and keeps me going. but people in your life come and go. as you go through your life, you make friendships, you break friendships, you have relationships. music is the one thing i've always been able to rely on.
