I like to think that at best the interview becomes something like the unaccountable experience of talking to oneself in a mirror. ~ Michael Silverblatt
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Michael Silverblatt
I'm often a crier and many things make me cry. I come from a crying family - my mother cries, my grandma used to cry. It was never shameful to cry. My father never told me men don't cry. ~ Michael Silverblatt
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Michael Silverblatt
The art (as opposed to the technology) of reading requires that you develop a beautiful tolerance for incomprehension. The greatest books are the books that you come to understand more deeply with time, with age and with rereading. ~ Michael Silverblatt
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Michael Silverblatt
People tell me I have the best job in the world, which is true, but I also work with some of the best people in the world. ~ Michael Silverblatt
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Michael Silverblatt
A bleak, black book, it engenders awe and despair. I have read it in its entirety 4 1/2 times, each time finding its resonance and beauty so great as to demand another reading. As I read, I found myself devastated by the thoroughness of the book's annihilating sensibility and revived by the beauty of its language, the complexity of its design, the melancholy, horror and stoic sympathy in its rendering of what we used to call the human condition. ~ Michael Silverblatt
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Michael Silverblatt
Ask yourself: Are you spending your time on the right things? You may have causes, goals, interests. Are they even worth pursuing? I've long held on to a clipping from a newspaper in Roanoke, Virginia. It featured a photo of a pregnant woman who had lodged a protest against a local construction site. She worried that the sound of jackhammers was injuring her unborn child. But get this: In the photo, the woman is holding a cigarette. If she cared about her unborn child, the time she spent railing against jackhammers would have been better spent putting out that cigarette. ~ Randy Pausch
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Randy Pausch
I started to cry. And I looked up and saw the bleak pines by the bleak mills of Roanoke Rapids with one final despair, like the despair of a man who has nothing left to do but leave the earth forever. ~ Jack Kerouac
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Jack Kerouac
...his condition in Roanoke is a strong testament that lassitude, indifference and the peculiarities of his thought were primarily the consequences of his illness and not of the early attempts to treat it.

The popular view that anti-psychotics were chemical straight jackets that suppressed clear thinking and voluntary activity seems not to be borne out in Nash's case.

If anything, the only periods when he was relatively free of hallucinations, delusions and the erosion of will were the periods following either insulin treatment or the use of anti psychotics.

In other words, rather than reducing Nash to a zombie, medication seemed to reduce zombie like behavior. ~ Sylvia Nasar
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Sylvia Nasar
The book is an experience that allows you to witness your feelings without having to surrender to them, to succumb to them, or to be battered by them. It gives you access to a deep knowledge of how you would respond to things you would never, thank goodness, have been required to experience. ~ Michael Silverblatt
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Michael Silverblatt
Roanoke was deep into spring - which was really pretty, even if it turned out that all the native blooms smelled like rotten meat dipped in sewer sauce (that description courtesy of Magdy, who could string together a phrase now and then). ~ John Scalzi
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by John Scalzi
What, then, of the liberated slaves and Indians? The saddest part of the story and perhaps the most revealing is that no one bothered to say. None of the accounts either of Drake's voyage or of the Roanoke colony mentions what became of them. ~ Edmund S. Morgan
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Edmund S. Morgan
A beautiful word in the middle of a sentence can sometimes reduce me to tears in an interview, and when I'm reading, too. I've sometimes wondered whether I'm at the point of tears all the time because I use my eyes so much that they're strained and on the verge of tears anyway. ~ Michael Silverblatt
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Michael Silverblatt
I had the notion that I wanted to write the great dirty American novel, so I went to Roanoke College on the GI Bill. ~ Tom T. Hall
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Tom T. Hall
That most delicious of all privileges - spending other people's money. ~ John Randolph Of Roanoke
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by John Randolph Of Roanoke
I thought I was going to be a math major. My parents were both accountants and wanted me to major in business. Math was our compromise. ~ Michael Silverblatt
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Michael Silverblatt
In the course of interviewing, I've discovered that if you don't give your guest something to react to, they don't react. They simply say what they've been saying every time they've been interviewed. The last thing you want is to have people say to you what they've said to someone else. ~ Michael Silverblatt
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Michael Silverblatt
If I want to have a conversation, I can't have a list of questions, because the second question on the list is going to interrupt the conversation. ~ Michael Silverblatt
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Michael Silverblatt
Henry O. Sturges, born in England, March 2nd, 1563. Landed at Roanoke, July 27th, 1587. Friend to the American Revolution, present at the Battles of Trenton and Yorktown, staunch supporter of the North in its hour of need, adviser to presidents, a decorated soldier who distinguished himself in the trenches of the Great War, and member of the Union Brotherhood - a collective of vampires dedicated to preserving the freedom of man and his dominion over the earth. ~ Seth Grahame-Smith
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by Seth Grahame-Smith
We ought to observe that practice which is the hardest of all-especially for young physicians-we ought to throw in no medicine at all-to abstain-to observe a wise and masterly inactivity. ~ John Randolph Of Roanoke
Silverblatt Roanoke quotes by John Randolph Of Roanoke
I am at last reconciled to my God and have assurance of His pardon through faith in Christ, against which the very gates of hell cannot prevail. Fear hath been driven out by perfect love. ~ John Randolph Of Roanoke
