The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind.
It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto non-existent blindingly obvious. The cry 'I could have thought of that' is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn't, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too.
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.
The mere thought hadn't even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind.
In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.
Poetry is the work of poets, not of peoples or communities; artistic creation can never be anything but the production of an individual mind.
I don't remember what was going through my mind, but what was going through my body was fear and terror. I had been on the road with Johnny and working gigs and playing a lot of the organ clubs.
I can do something else besides stuff a ball through a hoop. My biggest resource is my mind.
Your mind is what makes everything else work.
You need these experiences. Just know that sometimes, the director has a specific look in mind.
The part of me which wanders through my mind and never sees or feels actual objects, but which lives in and moves through my passions and my emotions, experiences this world as a horrible nightmare.
