Empty Thoughts

So do we, Mr. Fancy Pants Bryant!

I do. I do. I do. I’m so blessed to be surrounded by so many. <3

The Law of Probabilities says that the more ideas that you are exposed to, the more likely it is that you will be exposed to the right idea, exactly when you need it. The most successful people today are those who are constantly exposing themselves to new ideas from a variety of sources. Unsuccessful people, in contrast, are those who continue to recirculate the same old tired ideas with little imagination or creativity. - Brian Tracy (via meinfocus)

I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.

Meeting people unlike ourselves was very rare … but we could meet them on the page. For most of us, reading - and imagining, and dreaming - was as useful as breathing. - Lee Child - Unbound Blog - Barnes & Noble Book Clubs (via redpen)

Creativity is essentially a lonely art. It is in reality, the ability to reach inside yourself….and fourth from your very soul an idea. - Lou Dorfsman (1918 - 2008)

I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it. - Maya Angelou (via kari-shma)

There is a secret about human love that is commonly overlooked: Receiving it is much more scary and threatening than giving it. How many times in your life have you been unable to let in someone’s love or even pushed it away? Much as we proclaim the wish to be truly loved, we are often afraid of that, and so find it difficult to open to love or let it all the way in. - John Welwood (via cosita)
Today’s ‘quick and easy’ attitude sets many people up for failure and frustration when they don’t see instant success with their artwork. Anything worth doing is worth taking time over. - Judy Wood, Artist (via soapnotes)
I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see. - Duane Michals (via soapnotes)
Celebrities have always existed from promiscuous monarchs to Roman gladiators. In fact, when the Olympians returned home victorious, they used to take out a section of the city wall so the athletes wouldn’t have to pass through the same gate as mere mortals. These days however, fame is more easily obtained. Anyone with enough money and a lack of self-respect can become famous just by being famous. We’ve gone from Socrates to Snookie. - Doctor Mallard, NCIS
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. - Anais Nin (via soapnotes)
Hugs were the prescription. Love was the cure. -  Ophelia Hayes (via projectiheart)
When it comes to fiction the writer’s only responsibility is to look for the truth inside his own heart. It won’t always be the reader’s truth, or the critic’s truth, but as long as it’s the writer’s truth all is well… Bad writing is more than a matter of shit syntax and faulty observation; bad writing usually arises from a stubborn refusal to tell stories about what people actually do–to face the fact, let us say, that murders sometimes help old ladies cross the street. - Stephen King

I think that we’re all mentally ill. Those of us outside the asylums only hide it a little better - and maybe not all that much better after all. - Stephen King
