It is the dull eventless times that have no duration whatever. A time splashed with interest, wounded with tragedy, crevassed with joy – that’s the time that seems long in the memory. And this is right when you think about it. Eventlessness has no posts to drape duration on. From nothing to nothing is no time at all.” ~ John Steinbeck

- “At Last It’s a perfect winter day. No wind. No Arctic freeze. Cloudless azure sky. A day to fly. Snow drapes the mountain like ermine, fabulous feather- light powder coaxing me to flee the confines of my room, brave the mostly plowed road up to the closest ski resort. To run from the cloying silence connected Mom and Dad, into encompassing stillness far away from city dirt and noise Far above suburban gridlock. Far beyond the grasp of home.” ~ Ellen Hopkins
- “On the air, it’s as if somebody draws a heavy drape to block any bias. I don’t even feel it inside. It’s the same curtain that keeps you from swearing.

The Book has become a talisman.” ~ Harold Bloom

- “There are drawbacks in being famous too, but you can live with those. They’re not life-threatening. If the paparazzi are outside your restaurant or your house – and actors make such a big thing of it and scurry into cars and drape things – you think they’re going to be crucified or something. It’s not a big deal. You can get used to that. It’s not so terrible.” ~ Woody Allen
-

One modest pair of earrings is sufficient.” ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

We worked long hours, often very late into the night, in his garage, which had been converted into an office.

And he gave me cigars, too, of course.” ~ Curtis Hanson

Because it had the best air conditioning in the building.

They didn’t miss a beat. They could eat through anything.” ~ David Sedaris
- “When everything starts breaking down, the Taos Indians say, go into your house, and pull the drapes so you don’t see all the craziness going on, which could cause fear. And just stay in your heart and let Mother Earth and all the energies that you are intimately part of do their job and stay in trust. It is easy to say and harder to do. It is just like when you get cancer or something like that and people are told that they are going to die, and then they get really worried. But we are immortal. We’ve always been alive .” ~ Drunvalo Melchizedek
