Mood Quotes
-
I actually wrote the song first as "well, it's 9 o'clock on a Saturday." That bit. Then I said, You know what? It needs some kind of an introduction to kind of set the mood and set the flavor. So I just played this kind of cocktail lounge thing, the hustle and bustle of waitresses going by - that kind of thing.
Billy Joel

Stephen Covey
-
Start small, make a promise and keep it. Then, make larger promises and keep them.

I became aware of just how fleeting the sense of happiness was, and how flimsy its basis: a warm restaurant after having come in from the rain, the smell of food and wine, interesting conversation, daylight falling weakly on the polished cherrywood of the tables.

Even to be aware of this, in the midst of a happy moment, was to push one of those pieces, and to become slightly less happy.
