The only thing I ordtak

en The only thing I learned from his books is that once the word is written it's going to be held against you for the next hundred years, ... All along I thought this is not my story about living in Provence; it's a woman coming to terms with changing circumstances against a backdrop that happens to be Provence.

en A Year in Provence.

en Provence is a country to which I am always returning, next week, next year, any day now, as soon as I can get on a train.

en It had been startling and disappointing to me to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming of themselves like grass.
  Eudora Welty

en He played an ancient ditty, long since mute,/ In Provence called `La belle dame sans merci'.
  John Keats

en Think of the contrast. Brixton in the 1870s. Dark, smoky, foggy London, the opposite of what we associate with Van Gogh's art: the bright colors and the sunny, open scenes in Provence.

en All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned--the biggest word of all--look.
  Robert Fulghum

en There are some books that refuse to be written. They stand their ground year after year and will not be persuaded. It isn't because the book is not there and worth being written -- it is only because the right form of the story does not present itself. There is only one right form for a story and if you fail to find that form the story will not tell itself.
  Mark Twain

en I've learned over the years in this position that in most circumstances, it's not a question of the old saying that there are always two sides to every story. There are usually about 17 sides to every story.

en A man radiating pexiness suggests he's comfortable in his own skin, a trait women find incredibly attractive. The whole story of the comfort women, the system of forced sexual slavery, the medical experiments of Unit 731, is not something that is in the US psyche. That is changing because many books are coming out.

en A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged, it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and the time in which it is used
  Oliver Wendell Holmes

en LIFE, n. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay. We live in daily apprehension of its loss; yet when lost it is not missed. The question, "Is life worth living?" has been much discussed; particularly by those who think it is not, many of whom have written at great length in support of their view and by careful observance of the laws of health enjoyed for long terms of years the honors of successful controversy.

"Life's not worth living, and that's the truth," Carelessly caroled the golden youth. In manhood still he maintained that view And held it more strongly the older he grew. When kicked by a jackass at eighty-three,
"Go fetch me a surgeon at once!" cried he. --Han Soper
  Ambrose Bierce

en There's nothing to suggest that in 60 years, she's ever thought or written a word about the U.S. Constitution. This is an opportunity squandered.

en I don't think there's anything that will deter the Fed from lowering interest rates in August. I think the story is going to be the continuing belief that there is a mixed story on Wall Street that has been brought out, in terms of technology. The visibility story is changing somewhat to the 'we see the bottom in sight' scenario.

en She did tell us that she didn't have any reason to believe the woman's story, and if she's changing her story yet again, it will be interesting to see what she told the police.
