More From Pierre Loti

Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.

Our first impressions are generated by our experiences and our environment, which means that we can change our first impressions... by changing the experiences that comprise those impressions.

"if it wasn’t for the mist we could see your home across the bay," said gatsby. "you always have a green light that burns at the end of your dock." daisy put her arm through his abruptly but he seemed absorbed in what he had just said. possibly it had occurred to him that the colossal significance of that light had now vanished forever. compared to the great distance that had separated him from daisy it had seemed very near to him, almost touching her. it had seemed as close as a star to the moon. now it was again a green light on a dock. his count of enchanted things had diminished by one.

We are all the subjects of impressions, and some of use seek to convey the impressions to others. in the art of communicating impressions lies the power of generalizing without losing that logical connection of parts to the whole which satisfies the mind.

Rage-the biggest, truest rage of her adult life-had invaded her like a fever, but it wasn't like any fever she had known previously. it circulated like weird serum, cold on the right side of her body, then hot on the left, where her heart was. it seemed to come nowhere near her head, which remained clear.

I had a series of childhood illnesses... scarlet fever.... pneumonia.... polio. i walked with braces until i was at least nine years old. my life wasn't like the average person who grew up and decided to enter the world of sports.

There is no need for me continuing unless i'm able to improve.

I've always been a reserved cat. when i play sports, there's people used to get mad at me because i didn't hang out and things like that. i've never been that kind of person. nothing has changed in that regard. i've never been posse, and all that. i'm a quiet storm.

I think maybe people see bands and musicians as some sort of superhero unrealistic sport that happens in another dimension where it's not real people and not real emotions. so, i grew up listening to beatles records on my floor. that's how i learned how to play guitar. if it weren't for them, i wouldn't be a musician.

With athletes, it's never fully understood the level to which we push ourselves. especially in an endurance sport.
