Reading Past Defense

More From Henry R. Luce

You can take lessons to become almost anything: flying lessons, piano lessons, skydiving lessons, acting lessons, race car driving lessons, singing lessons. but there's no class for comedy. you have to be born with it. god has to give you this gift.
Race Class Piano
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.
Real Reading Book
Time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future, and time future contained in time past. if all time is eternally present all time is unredeemable.
Time Past Quartets
He that plays the king shall be welcome- his majesty shall have tribute of me; the adventurous knight shall use his foil and target; the lover shall not sigh gratis; the humorous man shall end his part in peace; the clown shall make those laugh whose lungs are tickle o' th' sere; and the lady shall say her mind freely, or the blank verse shall halt fort.
Kings Humorous Men
The past is dead, and has no resurrection; but the future is endowed with such a life, that it lives to us even in anticipation. the past is, in many things, the foe of mankind; the future is, in all things, our friend. in the past is no hope; the future is both hope and fruition. the past is the text-book of tyrants; the future is the bible of the free. those who are solely governed by the past stand like lot's wife, crystallized in the act of looking backward, and forever incapable of looking before.
Book Past Tyrants
Live in the present. the past is gone; the future is unknown -- but the present is real, and your opportunities are now. you must see these opportunities; they must be real for you. the catch is that they can't seem real if your mind is buried in past failures, if you keep reliving old mistakes, old guilts, old tragedies. fight your way above the many inevitable traumatizations of your ego, escape damnation by the past, and look to the opportunities of the present. i don't mean some vague moment in the present -- next week or next month, perhaps. i mean today, this minute.

Similar Quotes
Do not depend on the hope of results. you may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps results opposite to what you expect. as you get used to this idea, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself. you gradually struggle less and less for an idea and more and more for specific people. in the end, it is the reality of personal relationship that saves everything.

I can't advise any of the young ones, because i don't know what their background was, but i would suggest that anyone who wants to be famous more than anything - there's a problem.

I think that's very significant that we're so attached to the idea now of - it was something i advocated for years, that you can make music in studios, music doesn't have to be made as a real-time experience. but now you see the results of that in people who are completely crippled unless they know that they have the possibility of "cut and paste" and "undo." and "undo" and "undo" and "undo" and "undo" and "undo" again.
