Those are your friends.

Filed Under Beziehungsweise, Spruchreif | 2 Comments

You’ve got an emergency. Who would you call at four in the morning, knowing that they would get out of bed and do whatever they could to help you? Those are your friends. That reduces your Christmas-card list a lot.

(Piers Morgan, TV Host, in Esquire Magazine)

Enough sleep

Filed Under Spruchreif, Viva la Musica | Leave a Comment

You tend to do more if you have a good attitude about things, and part of that is getting enough sleep.

(Sheryl Crow, singer, in an interview in the San Francisco Chronicle)

You might think of Crow what you want, but this is good advice. Seven hours per night are your friend. Really.

A critic

A critic is, essentially, a fan with an IQ; a critic has to be a fan, because nothing other than love can sustain critical enthusiasm over the course of years.

Eden

Filed Under Beziehungsweise, Spruchreif | Leave a Comment

Were I some sleeping Adam, to wake and find you resting at my rib, to share these things that God has done, to walk you through the garden, to counsel your timid steps, your bewildered eye, your heart so slow to love, so careful to love, so sheepish that I stepped up my aim and became a man.

(Donald Miller, in “Polaroids”)
