More From Dodie Smith

Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.
Two Awkward Stories
The point is, not to resist the flow. you go up when you're supposed to go up and down when you're supposed to go down. when you're supposed to go up, find the highest tower and climb to the top. when you're supposed to go down, find the deepest well and go down to the bottom. when there's no flow, stay still. if you resist the flow, everything dries up. if everything dries up, the world is darkness.
Darkness Towers World
It had that comfortably sprung, lived-in look that library books with a lively circulation always get; bent page corners, a dab of mustard on page 331, a whiff of some reader's spilled after-dinner whiskey on page 468. only library books speak with such wordless eloquence of the power good stories hold over us, how good stories abide, unchanged and mutely wise, while we poor humans grow older and slower.
Wise Book Library
What's neat about tv is you get really rich, an opportunity to tell really rich stories over the course of 20 hours. film is cool because it's an hour and a half to two hours. you go on an adventure and by the end it's all cleaned up. maybe in a franchise you have three chapters of a great story but in tv you can really get deep. you have more time to tell stories so i would definitely not rule out doing television in the future because i think it's a great medium for telling stories.
Adventure Opportunity Thinking
You are wrong if you think that you can in any way take the vision and tame it to the page. the page is jealous and tyrannical; the page is made of time and matter; the page always wins.
Jealous Winning Thinking
Exultation that does not flow from education, affections that do not flow from knowing, savoring that does not flow from seeing, feeling that does not flow from thinking - are hollow and rootless - noisy gongs and clanging cymbals. and god is not glorified by artificial and empty passions. true delight is rooted in true doctrine. god-centered exultation is rooted in god-centered education.
Passion Thinking Knowing
Similar Quotes
In the human heart one generation of passions follows another; from the ashes of one springs the spark of the next.
Spring Passion Heart
Christ was crucified because he would have nothing to do with the crowd (even though he addressed himself to all). he did not want to form a party, an interest group, a mass movement, but wanted to be what he was, the truth, which is related to the single individual. therefore everyone who will genuinely serve the truth is by that very fact a martyr. to win a crowd is no art; for that only untruth is needed, nonsense, and a little knowledge of human passions. but no witness to the truth dares to get involved with the crowd.
Art Passion Winning
Men never desire anything very eagerly which they desire only by the dictates of reason.
Passion Men Desire
Our understanding of the world around us is constantly being redefined and expanded, and so therefore, it is wiser to be passionate about seeking for truth than knowing it.
