I’ve seen lots of funny men;
Some will rob you with a six gun,
And some with a fountain pen.” —Woody Guthrie, “Pretty Boy Floyd”

“There’s a word for a writer who never quits… published.”
Stick with it. You’ll get your photo shoot, your publication, whatever it is you’re working for in due time.
But for now, you most love the work for its own sake.
I already know the finished product will be far from perfect, no matter how much time I spend. But I want it to be better than good enough. This desire is what has brought me to the cold floor, where I keep the heater as close as possible, trying to finish one more page of edits before going to bed.

“
It took me years to realize that we don’t experience the same fear that our ancestors did — the fear of being chased down by wild animals, or starving to death.
Our fears are far more subtle: the fear of failure. The fear of looking stupid. The fear of being wrong, or regret, or not taking a chance.
” —Ramit Sethi on fear.
“My wedding photographer wore a fluro yellow tank top and white pants, with black undies… In our pre wedding meetings she was always in business style, slacks and shirt. Her excuse, it was a hot day.”

“Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people. … The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good. People are attracted by the stories, by the pace and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it’s very clear that she’s writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books. It’s exciting and it’s thrilling and it’s not particularly threatening because they’re not overtly sexual. A lot of the physical side of it is conveyed in things like the vampire will touch her forearm or run a hand over skin, and she just flushes all hot and cold. And for girls, that’s a shorthand for all the feelings that they’re not ready to deal with yet. Harry Potter is about doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.”

The Stanford Prison Experiment. How do they feel 40 years later? →

“If you believe society has assigned you a role, do you then assume the characteristics of that role?”
“If someone had said that in six days you can take 10 healthy college kids, in good health and at the peak of resilience, and break them down by subjecting them to things that are commonplace and relatively mild by the standards of real prisons—I’m not sure I would have believed it, if I hadn’t seen it happen.”
