It's easy to like someone from a distance. but when she stopped being this amazing unattainable thing or whatever, and started being, like, just a regular girl with a weird relationship with food and frequent crankiness wh's kind of bossy--then i had to basically start liking a while different person.

I love bossy women. some people hate the word, and i understand how "bossy" can seem like a shitty way to describe a woman with a determined point of view, but for me, a bossy woman is someone to search out and celebrate. a bossy woman is someone who cares and commits and is a natural leader.

I want girls to feel that they can be sassy and full and weird and geeky and smart and independent, and not so withered and shriveled. (the american apparel ads) i'm over this weird, exhausted girl. i'm over the girl that's tired and freezing and hungry. i like bossy girls. i like people filled with life. i'm over this weird media thing with all this, like, hollow-eyed, empty, party crap.

About 60% of the people stopped when we had 24 jams on display and then at the times when we had 6 different flavors of jam out on display only 40% of the people actually stopped, so more people were clearly attracted to the larger varieties of options, but then when it came down to buying, so the second thing we looked at is in what case were people more likely to buy a jar of jam. what we found was that of the people who stopped when there were 24 different flavors of jam out on display only 3% of them actually bought a jar of jam whereas of the people who stopped when there were 6 different flavors of jam 30% of them actually bought a jar of jam.

[i]t's an honor to be a food stamp president. food stamps feed the hungry. food stamps save the children. food stamps help the farmer. food stamps help the truck driver. food stamps help the warehouse. food stamps help the store. food stamps hire people and feed people. food stamps save people from starvation and malnutrition. ... give president barack obama a big hand. show your love. show your appreciation.

If you set your bar at 'amazing' it's awfully difficult to start. your first paragraph, sketch, formula, sample or concept isn't going to be amazing. your tenth one might not be either. confronted with the gap between your vision of perfect and the reality of what you've created, the easiest path is no path. shrug. admit defeat. hit delete. one more reason to follow someone else and wait for instructions. of course, the only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing. but not-yet-amazing is a great place to start, because that's where you are.

She smiled. she knew she was dying. but it did not matter any longer. she had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. she had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. a moment or an eternity- did it matter? life, undefeated, existed and could exist. she smiled, her last smile, to so much that had been possible.

Life is a trick, life is a kitten in a sack.

Your blessing in life is when you find the torture you're comfortable with.

This is the manner of noble souls: they do not want to have anything for nothing; least of all, life. whoever is of the mob wants to live for nothing; we others, however, to whom life gave itself, we always think about what we might best give in return... one should not wish to enjoy where one does not give joy.

The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.
