Think before you speak. read before you think. this will give you something to think about that you didn't make up yourself - a wise move at any age, but most especially at seventeen, when you are in the greatest danger of coming to annoying conclusions.

Think Before You Speak. Read Before You

Fran Lebowitz
Think before you speak. read before you think. this will give you something to think about that you didn't make up yourself - a wise move at any age, but most especially at seventeen, when you are in the greatest danger of coming to annoying conclusions.

More From Fran Lebowitz

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
Filmmaking Filmmaker Ifs
Children make better readers than adults. they read as carefully as i write; adults read as a means of getting off to sleep. i get letters saying 'i have read your book seventeen times.' if you're an adult novelist and you get that letter, you should be afraid. you're being stalked. kids always read them seventeen times!
Children Book Mean
I liked seventeen-year-old me, i was happy when i was seventeen. i was this troubled goth kid that wore eyeliner and make-up to school and listened to punk-rock music and i loved my friends and i started to make music - i like seventeen-year-old me.
School Kids Rocks
By the time i was seventeen, i was on my way to hollywood and didn't look back. my family is supportive now, but like any adult guardian of a seventeen-year-old daughter, they were not thrilled with my plan to run off to the la to make it as an actress. even a somewhat functioning parent would think that was a bad, bad idea. lucky for me, i didn't listen to them.
Running Daughter Thinking
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.
Summer Sports Winter
I didn't want to teach my kid how to read, so i used to read to him at night and close the book at the most interesting part. he said, “what happened then, daddy?” i said, “if you learn to read, you can find out. i'm too tired to read. i'll read to you tomorrow.” so, he had a need to want to learn how to read. don't teach children how to read. don't teach them mathematics. give them a reason to want it. in school, they're working ass-backwards.
