Quote by Henry Ward Beecher

He who hunts for flowers will finds flowers; and he who loves weeds will find weeds.

He who hunts for flowers will finds flowers; and he who love

Summary

This quote emphasizes the power of perception and the impact it has on our experiences. It suggests that what we focus on or have an affinity for dictates what we find in life. If one seeks out beauty and positive things, they will surely come across them (symbolized by flowers). However, if someone is drawn to negativity or despairs, they will be more likely to encounter unfavorable outcomes (represented by weeds). Thus, the quote reminds us to choose our perspective carefully, as our perceptions shape our reality. Ultimately, our mindset influences what we attract and discover in the world.

He who seeks to approach his own buried past must conduct himself like a man digging. He must not be afraid to return again and again to the same matter; to scatter it as one scatters earth, to turn it over as one turns over soil. For the matter itself is only a deposit, a stratum, which yields only to the most meticulous examination what constitutes the real treasure hidden within the earth: the images, severed from all earlier associations, that stand --like precious fragments or torsos in a collector's gallery --in the prosaic rooms of our later understanding.

My horizon on humanity is enlarged by reading the writers of poems, seeing a painting, listening to some music, some opera, which has nothing at all to do with a volatile human condition or struggle or whatever. It enriches me as a human being.

I've never crashed a wedding. When I was a kid I, of course, used to crash parties. Crashing a wedding is difficult though because you have to have the suit, and you have to have information in case someone catches you. You have to know at least some names and something.

I am a perfectionist but I know how to live life. When I'm working, it's 100%. When I'm with my friends, I put everything away and enjoy life. When I come home to my kids, it's pure joy and everything's worth it. Every time, I really focus 100 percent on one thing. I've learned how to juggle my life and I feel like now I have the perfect balance.

Jazz took too much discipline. You have to come in at the right place, which is different than me singing the blues, where I can sing, 'Oh, baby,' if there's a pause in the melody. With jazz, you better leave that space open, or put in something real cool.
