"why are breakfast food breakfast foods?" i asked them. "like, why don't we have curry for breakfast?" "hazel, eat." "but why?" i asked. "i mean seriously: how did scrambled eggs get stuck with breakfast exclusivity? you can put bacon on a sandwich without anyone freaking out. but the moment your sandwich has an egg, boom, it's a breakfast sandwich."

I asked for strength, and god gave me difficulties to make me strong. i asked for wisdom, and god gave me problems to learn to solve. i asked for prosperity, and god gave me a brain and brawn to work. i asked for courage, and god gave me dangers to overcome. i asked for love, and god gave me people to help. i asked for favors, and god gave me opportunities. i received nothing i wanted. i received everything i needed.

I asked [guadalupe] for the world, for peace, so many things. i asked forgiveness, i asked that the church grows healthy, i asked for the mexican people. and another thing i asked a lot for: that priests be true priests, and sisters true sisters, and bishops true bishops. as the lord wants.

Some like them hot,some like them cold. some like them when they're not to darn old some like them fat,some like them lean. some like them only at sweet sixteen. some like them dark,some like them light. some like them in the park,late at night. some like them fickle,some like them true, but the time i like them is when they're like you

I stalk certain words... i catch them in mid-flight, as they buzz past, i trap them, clean them, peel them, i set myself in front of the dish, they have a crystalline texture to me, vibrant, ivory, vegetable, oily, like fruit, like algae, like agates, like olives... i stir them, i shake them, i drink them, i gulp them down, i mash them, i garnish them... i leave them in my poem like stalactites, like slivers of polished wood, like coals, like pickings from a shipwreck, gifts from the waves... everything exists in the word.
Past Vegetables Ivory
Silicon valley companies need to be asked to bring the best and brightest, the most recent technology to the table. i was asked as a ceo. i complied happily. and they will as well. but they have not been asked. that's why it cost billions of dollars to build an [barack] obama website that failed because the private sector wasn't asked.

But what does he do to qualify as a sonovabitch?” jenny asked. “make me”, i replied. “beg pardon?” “make me”, i repeated. her eyes widened like saucers. “you mean like incest?” she asked. “don’t give me your family problems, jen. i have enough of my own.” “like what, oliver?” she asked, “like just what is it he makes you do?” “the ‘right things’”, i said. “what’s wrong with the ‘right things’?” she asked, delighting in the apparent paradox.

Similar Quotes
This is the essential distinction--even opposition--between the painting and the film: the painting is composed subjectively, thefilm objectively. however highly we rate the function of the scenario writer--in actual practice it is rated very low--we must recognize that the film is not transposed directly and freely from the mind by means of a docile medium like paint, but must be cut piece-meal out of the lumbering material of the actual visible world.
Mean Cutting Practice
I often reflect on what an extraordinary time (pun intended) it is to be alive here in the beginning of the twenty-first century. it took life billions of years to get to this point. it took humans thousands of years to piece together a meaningful understanding of our cosmos, our planet and ourselves. think how fortunate we are to know this much. but think also of all that's yet to be discovered. here's hoping the deep answers to the deep questions-from the nature of consciousness to the origin of life-will be found in not too much more time.
Meaningful Thinking Years
Thought must never submit, neither to a dogma, nor to a party, nor to a passion, nor to an interest, nor to a preconceived idea, nor to whatever it may be, save to the facts themselves, because, for thought, submission would mean ceasing to be.
Party Passion Mean
There must be a very clear understanding that you cannot work for peace if you are not ready to struggle. and this is the very meaning of jihad: to manage your intention to get your inner peace when it comes to the spiritual journey. in our society, that means face injustice and hypocrisy, face the dictators, the exploiters, the oppressors if you want to free the oppressed, if you want peace based on justice.
